in 1804 Napoleon's brother honeymooned
at Niagara Falls and since then
lovebirds and other visitors have
flocked to this natural world wonder in
the billions the city of Niagara Falls
is now affectionately known as the
honeymoon capital of the world
stretching across the u.s. Canadian
border the Falls represent a kind of
international marriage - located 90
minutes outside of Toronto the Falls are
a moving relic from the Ice Age and
funnel water from the Great Lakes over a
fifty five meter cliff sometimes
reaching speeds of over 100 kilometers
an hour
you can witness mother nature
spectacular show from viewing platforms
boats or helicopter tours while nearby
Clifton Hill provides a kitschy
distraction with streets lined with
casinos amusement parks and museums the
height and power of the Falls has
attracted many a daredevil with 18
attempts to brave the drop in nothing
but a barrel famously in 1859
jean-francois craft they conducted a
series of tightrope crossing and in one
instance even pushed a wheelbarrow along
the line
