South of England

Windsor Castle is a place with living history from the 11th century till today near the river Thamse. A place where the the current british monarch is living and the national anthem God save the queen!/ God save the king! is played as alarm clock melody. OK, the last statement has to be checked, but this place was a highlight where the complete family was looking ahead.

One important thing was to attend the guard change which happens 11am. So, in the morning it was not enough time for the castle itself and we started with a visit in the St. George's Chapel, where many royal services, weddings and burials took place and where the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip can be found.

Thereafter we went to the guard change in time and saw an interesting and colorful ceremony based on grown traditions and designed for the public.

Last but not least we went through all the rooms, chambers and floors in the castle, saw the welcome gifts of several international guests, heard some stories from the past and were exhausted at the end of the excursion from the amount of information.

A great day!Läs mer
