Toronto Travel : Niagara Falls

It was very cold in the rain.
I went to Niagara Falls from Toronto, Union Station by VIA rail.
Union Station.
I booked a ticket in Japan. I received a ticket showing the reservation paper at the ticket booth. Female staff was very kind.
VIA
VIA is similar to Japanese express train. But from the window blowing the draft, it was very cold. And there was trash everywhere in the train. It's impossible in Japan. It was quite unpleasant train.
Niagara Falls station is built in red brick.
It was very cold. So I took taxi.
Naigara Falls
Kind taxi driver explained to me about fall's height, width, and fall speed, history of Niagara Falls.
Since the water level was high in the rain, I was able to get on Maid of the Mist. But it was a tremendous force.
Journey Behind the Falls
This is the place to be seen up close the most waterfall on a rainy day.
I can see the back of the Canadian waterfall from two holes provided in the tunnel. I was wearing a poncho.
I was surprised to force and roar of falling water.
Incline Railway
This is the cable car that connects the Niagara Parkway and Falls view.
I went on top of the cliff riding on this cable car.
Sales clerk of this cable car was very bad attitude. I was very distressed. I don't want to ride again in this cable car.
Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort
I had no time to play in the casino.
Galleria
Small shopping mall. I had a lunch and tea.
Skylon Tower
This is the outlook tower of the ground 160 meter overlooking the Niagara.
The other side of the bridge is the United States.
Clifton Hill
When it comes to the night, this area is so brilliant in illumination.
This is the downtown there is amusement facilities and cafes and Ferris wheel.
There is also a lot of souvenir shops.

And I went back to Union Station by VIA. It was very cold.
The next say was the return date, it was fine weather, unlike the day before. It was a very enjoyable travel. My most favorite place is the Casa Loma. I want to come to Toronto again.
