Hornblower Cruise

We decided to go on the Hornblower cruise to get closer to the front of the falls.

Image

First we had to climb way down to the river.

Image

Then Matt donned the bright red tourist regalia. Kerri again refused.

Image

Then we headed down the river toward the falls.

Image

Before we even got to the observation tower there was enough mist in the air to make rainbows.

Image

So maybe the inflatable tourist regalia was a good idea.

Image

First the boat goes by the bridal veil falls.

Image

The dissolved limestone and clay and air make gross foam in the water.

Image

There is also a lot of mist.

Image

Underneath all the mist it just looks like a river.

Image

There is a walkway on the American side where it looks like the tourist regalia would be a good idea.

Image

If only to protect you from all the bird poop.

Image

Then the boat went right up to the bottom of the main falls.

Image

It was wet.

Image

But Kerri still refused.

Image

Then we went back past the falls.

Image

Kerri was a little bit wet.
