A demonstration of reflection, refraction and dispersion. Stay in school, kids
I admit I knew little to nothing about Niagara Falls beyond the fact that it’s a series of waterfalls which men have previously felt compelled to traverse in barrels. Evidently people have capitalised on the popularity of the falls by turning the town (on either side of the US-Canada border) into a fairly seedy holiday resort. It’s not Blackpool or (god forbid) Rhyl-levels of offensiveness, but tacky nonetheless. If you’ve played Fallout: New Vegas, you might notice a couple of parallels.
The view from the hotel was admittedly pretty good:
We took one of the Hornblower cruises to the falls, where it sails up to the base and treads water for a bit while you get wet and take soggy selfies. It’s fun enough and you get a nice view. And you get a rather fetching red poncho.

Here’s some snaps:
Then we needed to take the edge off at Margaritaville. Who the buggery bollocks is Jimmy Buffett, by the way?
Kurzfassung auf Deutsch: Wir haben Niagara Falls besucht. Die Stadt ist kitschig, aber die Aussicht ist spektakulär.
