It's a walkway that takes you to the base of the falls, you can't hear yourself think, it's so loud and you can reach out and touch the falls themselves!

The thing is, when its in such easy reach, its easy to become complacent and not appreciate whats around you.
I lived in Edinburgh for ten years- and it took me 7 of them to visit the castle.
And only then, because I had family who wanted to see it (and I could get free passes).
Sometimes its good to look outside the box you live in, and a great way to do that is to become a tourist in your own town/city- actually that reminds me of that episode from Friends- its so true.
Thanks for the advice, if I ever go, Ill be sure to do that. It sounds amazing.
