And that I did! In Ireland they were everywhere! Ancient with stories and so much more! (I promise to post some of my favorite pictures soon.)
But when you come to England, you can't bypass The Castle! And this is it.
We avoided London today because the Marathon was held and we didn't feel like dealing with that large of a crowd so we went to Windsor... We uh, weren't aware that today was the Queens Birthday too! So even though she wasn't around, the crowds were anyway! Still, we managed and held up, barely....
Anyway, It was a great highlight to visit this place even though some lessons learned weren't what I'd expected.... Seems Kings of the name Charles have a proclivity for messing around! One of the places outside of the castle was 'famous' as the house where King Charles the II visited his mistress, Nell Gwyn! Now a Chinese restaurant and coffee house. Oh well! not as bad as Henry the VIII I guess! :)
There were some awesome things as well, a female member of the Queens Guard and a grand 'crooked house' too!
Anyway here are some of my Views from today, enjoy the walk with me!
Seems in the end today I broke two 'promises'! Not to post 'touristy' pics or judge!
Well, it was a loooong day! :)
