The Niagara Falls are voluminous waterfalls on the Niagara River, straddling the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York.

"Cycling the Highway 1 - Part 1"

Seattle - Astoria | Washington | USA | 1995
After finishing my University I wanted to fulfill myself a wish. I decided to cycle the Highway 1 from Seattle to San Francisco. I flew, my bike as luggage, to Seattle and started there. After a short break on Vancouver Island in Victoria I drove through the Olympic Nationalpark and along the Coast of Washington. In Astoria I crossed the big Astoria-Megler-Bridge to Oregon.
