Chilly with a touch of Icewine

Breakfast was yet again another waffle,

at least they were sweet potato waffles, though,

with blueberry syrup.  We started out with fruit with a dollops of some scrumptious sorbet on top,

coffee, juice and berry muffins or butter tarts.

We drove to Hamimlton where Dundurn Castle is located.  Had I been smart we could have gone here on our way to Toronto. I was not so we trecked back almost an hour to see this Castle that the net had said was near Niagara on The Lake. But we did get to see

and 

A little info about the castle:

It was interesting though, Built in 1935 for Allan McNab, it has inhabited by 6 whole people,  18,000 sq feet!  At least 6 family members, there were servants too.  In the foreground here is a dovecote.

The sitting room was huge and lovely, with a picture of the Great, Great, Greatish grandmother of the Duchess Cornwall.

Then the library/office, and card room.

And then the dining room with a table for 20.

This is a sample menu, dosen't really sound all that great.

The butler had his own room and pantry, sure wish I had a butlers, pantry like this!

This is one of the daughters bedroom.

And this is the other 

And thier sitting room

Big Sisters room:

And then Aunt Sophia's bathroom;

And then the sickroom, notice the hip bath and the lovely wash bowl, pitcher and chamber pots!  

Next was Poppas room

And look they have a bidet!

And then there was a smaller more intimate sitting room. How many sitting rooms does one family need?

Then came the basement complete with its own wine room.

Laundry room

And the servants quarters 

Look at the sugar cone, a little different from what what we buy now!

And then came the cooks room, right beside the kitchen.

And then we came to the kitchen.

After we went towards Niagra on the lake my speedig questions were partially answered, as it seems to me that the 100KM/hr signs are only a suggestions,

And on to a couple of Vineyards, Hare,

Caroline Cellars

 and Pondview.

 We had lunch at Caroline Cellars, Jodi had a vegetarian Paninni

and I had a

Turkey burger with goat cheese, pretty good!  

We had agreed to to go the Canadian side of the falls tonight, which we did but it was a bit chilly.
