Niagara Falls (Day 2)

Let me show you 3 pictures.








Awesome isn't it.


The first picture is how the bottom of Niagara Falls really look like. Water gushing through rocks and all.


The 2nd picture is how the water flow looks like in slow shutter speed. Mind you these pictures are taken by my Sminky S90 (see how awesome small camera's are), and not Zven's DSLR. So please do not misunderstand the power of a semipro. Now the water look all fluffy and cotton candy-ish yea?


The 3rd picture is a replica of the 2nd picture + photoshop. Looks like a painting ain't it?


That ladies and gentlemen is a snippet of my Niagara falls trip.


So one day 2 early early early early early early morning (ungodly hours man! Ungodly), we were up and very sleep indeed due to lack of sleep the night before. Zven's uncle was happy and cheerful and exclaimed : "no need to sleep wan lar" and brought us to eat a lovely Malaysian breakfast. Mind you, its MALAYSIAN breakfast.


Yes, there is charkuaytiao, curry mee, chee cheong fun, nasi lemak even.


YUMMMMMM. (no where near the tastiness of Penang's Curry mee, but much better than a lot of KL stalls).

Made us all very very happy indeed, and not at all regretful about our lack of sleep.

And then we embarked on the impossible 8 hours of bus ride heading north west. 


I have my M&Ms from NY to keep me company. (small girl grin)

We pass by a lot of urban areas, and some kampongs. See the kampong houses are all very nice wan, not like in Msia.

And we had multiple meals on the bus. Haha. Yeaman. Multiple!!! Okay. So one of the stops before reaching Niagara was Corning Glass Museum. It's a place where they manufacture glass, and made it into a museum to attract tourist.
See all the glass balls. Each of these cost a few thousand USD because of the intensive workmanship put into it.




When we FINALLY reached Niagara Falls after the painful 8 hour ride, our 1st stop was "Cave of The Winds".


It's a built stairway down to the bottom of the falls, allowing tourist to gain a view of Niagara Falls right at the foot of it. And the view there is super awesome.


All of us were encourage to put on poncho's because there is a possibility of getting soaked and drenched.




All of us looked so funny in poncho's. We look like Digi-mans. "I will follow yeouuuuuuuuuuu"


Zven trying to be IronMan (claiming his camera lens is his chest light)

Kim looks like a turtle. 

Queen have big sexy butt.

Seagulls were a plentiful there. Flying everywhere. And when I say plentiful, I really mean plentiful. It's as though every cubic feet in the sky is covered by at least 3 seagulls. (They should be called waterfall gulls, not seagulls). They were swooping up and down trying to catch fish, or simply sitting around hanging out on branches. 


So from now on it will be a PICTURE DIARRHEA because words cannot describe the beauty of the place. so Imma gonna show you pictures. But still,  these pictures can't tell much. You've gotta be there to see the majestic place.

Me and the Falls.

Little streams beneath the falls.

One last super magical picture.
