Day 97 Toronto Visit Casa Loma & Harbour Tour

Sat., Aug. 24

Toronto Visit Casa Loma & Harbour Tour

Second day back into the city is a lot easier.  We got our tokens and took the subway to the DuPont Station then walked a block to the Casa Loma.  This 98 room castle was built in 1914 for Sir Henry Pellant.  It took about 2 hours to do the audio tour through this castle.  Amazing!

 

Solarium, loved the size and stained glass window

Tunnel under street, castle to stables and green houses

We caught the trolley to Stop #13 then we walked to the harbour since the trolley was taking a 10 minute break.  We got to the harbour stop just as the trolley arrived.  We made it on the 2 pm tour around the inner harbour and Toronto Islands.  We stopped for a late lunch on the wharf at the Amsterdam Brewery.

We walked to Kensington Market through China town.  Big celebrations and street vendors set up with partial streets closed.  While the guys grabbed a beer to cool down Marg and I had a crepe with fruit and ice cream.  Back onto the subway, to the truck and to the campsite without incident.
