Anyone who falls into the water here has no chance of rescue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I slowly walk over to Goat Island and the American Falls. There is a viewing platform on the small Luna Island, which lies in the middle of Hells Half Acre.

Impressive. And these are the small waterfalls. Here on the island is the Cave of the Winds. It is an area below the falls where the water hits the ground after its descent. Not the best place for photos; not so good for the camera. There is a lot of spray in the air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I can&#8217;t wait to tackle Horseshoe Falls. But first, rain. A thunderstorm front is approaching. Of course, I&#8217;m in the worst possible place: I couldn&#8217;t be further away from the car. I skip Terrapin Point with its view of Horseshoe Falls. I have no chance of staying dry, but I hurry back to the car anyway. According to the internet, the rain will last at least an hour. I might as well check into the hotel in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The room is OK. The Sheraton name promises more, but never mind. It was cheap. The parking lot is located directly on Niagara Street, which leads to the border crossing into Canada.

The lens is wet, with water droplets on it. So I switch back to \u201cenjoying without evidence.\u201d We pass the American Falls. The closer we get to the Horseshoe Falls, the louder and more impressive it becomes.
