Day 14: Windor Castle (Windsor - England)

Thought we might pop-in and visit Windsor Castle this morning, so we literally walked across the road to the castle. The kids enjoyed listening to their audio headsets while walking around - I swear I'll be a headset engineer by the time this holiday will be over.

No photo's were allowed inside the castle - but it was really quite impressive (better than we remembered from last time).

Queens room is somewhere in the wing behind us

Flag was up, so the Queen was there - clearly must have been sleeping in this morning though, as she didn't pop down for a visit.

We then caught the train into London for the night.  Almost missed the connecting train which we could see arriving, but sheer determination in lugging bags up the stairs and over to the other platform would have been a sight, but we just made it in time.

We then checked into our room the size of a matchbox, with no A/C and barely enough room to put our bags down, but we didn't care as it was next to the Eurostar terminal and we were off in the morning.

We have had an awesome time in the UK in the past two weeks.  Now its time for the next part of our adventure!

Dear 5/6 white and Miss Ferguson,
I am in Windsor Castle, It is beautiful! After this I have to catch a train to St Pancras Station.Its hard to believe that I have been in England for 2 weeks now and I am going to Europe on Wednesday.   Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest Castle in the world! And the Queen was there when we were. We also visited the State Apartments ( the Castle) and St George Chapel where the Queen's mother was buried.

PS - wow I've just seen some of your comments. Thankyou for writing to me.   I'll have to write back to you soon.
From your awesome classmate Emily
