Some of the things you can do in one day while travelling from Rotorua to Taupo.

Take a journey to the magical blue-green waters of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, to the healing music of Darshan Ambient. These have to be some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the world. There are three different falls in this video: Havasu, Mooney, and Navajo. It's a ten mile hike through canyon valleys to get there, and it's worth every step.

This movie was taken from a "lookout", high above the "Huka Water Falls", just outside Taupo, New Zealand, which is situated almost in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand.

This was taken from the bridge crossing the fast flowing waters of the Huka Falls.

Finally, I had a chance to explore the great falls up close, actually as close as you can get: I walked down from the Niagara Falls Fallsview Casino to the Niagara River from where I had a great view of the American Falls. Just a few steps further I reached the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the larger of the two. I had a quick lunch in the Table Rock Center and then headed into the basement where I started to explore a series of tunnels that terminate in two portals located behind the falls. Viewing the power of these majestic waterfalls from these openings and from the outside viewing platform is a truly awe-inspiring experience.

My first destination on this cold and grey winter day was the Skylon Tower, one of Niagara Falls' landmarks, which has been presiding over the city since 1965. I took one of the exterior "Yellow Bug" elevators" up to the top where there is an observation platform anchored by a gift shop. The 360 degree view was phenomenal, even on this less than perfect day. Then I headed down a level to check out the Revolving Dining Room, a long-time favourite for couples who want to savour a leisurely gourmet meal while enjoying a slowly rotating 360 degree view of Niagara Falls.

Niagara Canada of 1969 This is a slideshow of our three day Honeymoon and the pictures we took in Niagara Canada. We stayed in the Sheraton Block Hotel with a room overlooking the Niagara Falls. When we were there the water to the American Falls was diverted so they could work on the Falls. We took a Bell Helicopter ride over Niagara Falls and Valley where I got what I think are some nice pictures there is one picture of the helicopter. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed our honeymoon in 1969. Music Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 1st Movement

A look at the tremendous power and beauty of the falls.

My last two nights in Niagara Falls were spent at the Kilpatrick Manor Bed and Breakfast, a two year old bed and breakfast on Second Street in Niagara Falls. Hosts Nance and Kevin Kilpatrick love providing an exquisite guest experience, and Nance showed me around their recently renovated and tastefully decorated property which features three comfortable bedrooms, all equipped with brand-new luxurious bathrooms. Kevin Kilpatrick, a professional chef, spoiled me with extremely delicious gourmet breakfasts and stories from Nance and Kevin's international hospitality adventures.

After my morning adventure at the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, I walked across the parking lot to the Niagara Falls Imax Theatre where I saw an Imax Presentation of the movie "Niagara" Miracles, Myths and Magic", which highlights significant points in the history of the great falls. Niagara's history is presented in greater than life format, from the ancient native legend of the "Maid of the Mist", to French explorers who were the first Europeans to see Niagara Falls, to more recent daredevils that have challenged the falls in various contraptions. After the movie I checked out the Daredevil Gallery which features the real vessels of numerous daredevils that have actually gone over the falls, with varying results.
