Vi ankom til Toronto, Canada, d. 30 januar, efter en ca. 30 timers rejse fra New Zealand. Mens vi var på bil-jagt fik vi set os lidt omkring i Toronto og var på en dagstur til Niagara Falls.
We arrived in Toronto, Canada, after a 30 hours trip from New Zealand. While car-hunting we had a chance to have a look around in Toronto and we went on a day tour to Niagara Falls.
Et sjovt lille hus på vores vej.
A funny little house we came by.
Og lidt 3D kunst.
And a little 3D art.
The CN tower by night.
Tog på en dagstur til Niagara Falls - første stop på turen stod på vinsmagning. Vi smagte blandt andet det specielle isvin, som laves i området. Druerne plukkes om natten, når der er mellem 8 og 15 graders frost, hvilket resulterer i en meget sød dessertvin.
We went on a daytrip to Niagara Falls - first stop was at a winery. Amongst other we tasted the special icewine, which is made in the area. The grapes are being picked at nighttime, when it is between -8 and -15 degrees, which makes a very sweet dessert wine.
Havde en halv times stop i Niagara-By-The-Lake. Rigtig hyggeligt med sne og kulde.
Had half an hour stop at Niagara-By-The-Lake. Really nice with snow and cold weather.
Fint lille bageri, hvor vi fik tanket op med kaffe :)
Nice little bakery, where we reloaded with coffee :)
Sneploven igang.

Niagara Whirlpool. Sidste stop inden vandfaldet.
Niagara Whirlpool. Last stop before the waterfall.
Med i turen er adgang til Skylon Tower, med udsigt over Niagara Falls.
As a part of the tour there is admittion to the Skylon Tower, with view over the Niagara Falls.
Og der er det så - det største vandfald her: The Horseshoe Falls.
And there it is - the biggest waterfall here: The Horseshoe Falls.
Lige på den anden side af floden er USA og vandfaldet på deres side hedder dermed The American Falls og det mindre til højre, kun opdelt af et smalt stykke land, hedder The Bridal Veil Falls.
On the other side of the river is The United States and the waterfall on their side is therefore called the American Falls and the smaller falls to the right, is The Bridal Veil Falls, seperated to the other by a small piece of land.
Niagara Falls city.
The Horseshoe Falls er det vandfald der har den største strømningshastighed, i verden. Op til 168.000 m3 vand, falder over kanten, i minuttet.
The Horseshoe Falls has the highest flow rate in the world. Up to 168.000 m3 of water falls over the crest line, every minute.
Vandstøvet fra vandfaldet lægger sig som et islag overalt.
The watermist from the waterfall results in a layer of ice everywhere.
Flot og imponerende!
Beautiful and impressive!
