We finally received notification that as
expected our visa extension had been denied so we would now have to make a
hasty 2,000 mile retreat to my David’s place in Evergreen Colorado. However,
this did not stop us from having one last day of fun.
We stopped in at the Niagara Falls. We did
the mandatory Lady of the Mist tour getting only slightly wet but having an
absolute ball. I think we had more fun than any of the kids on board.

After lunch on board Dude and a quick dry
off we then did the Cave of the Winds tour. Outfitted in a new knee length
poncho and supplied water sandals we caught the elevator to the bottom of the
falls and then onto the boardwalk adjacent to the American Falls.
The lower section got our feet wet as the
water poured in over the boardwalk. Then it was on to the Hurricane Deck
alongside the main falls to feel just how strong the wind is that the falls
generate. Despite the poncho's we were absolutely soaked to the core as we
could only stand in the main section of the deck for around 1 minute at a time.
Needless to say we did go back 4 times laughing and carrying on like kids.
