Decided to take off to look at Windsor Castle today. Have never been before and it was well worth the time and energy. Lovely place and even though it is a castle still retains a hominess that is very attactive. Decided to take a taxi there and back as the hotel is out of the direct route it would have taken me over 2 hours on a buss to get there while a taxi took 30 minutes. Of course the taxi cost 48 pounds which is nearly 100 dollars which is nuts but oh well I am only here for a short time.
Did manage to get some photos but I think will have to wait to download them. Castle has the most amazing picutre by Rembrandt, Van Dyke, Holbein, its one thing to see them in a booi but in real life absolutely fabulous breathtakingly beautiful.
State rooms are very "flashy" and some of the place settings could give you nightmares but on the whole a great day out. Went into St. George's Chapel originally started in 1500s saw the Queen Mother's small crypt. She and her husband George vi are buried under a black piece of granite with just their names on it Very simple, very peaceful nice statement about how they saw themselves.
Came back to the hotel and have a lovely swim.
