Day 7

Windsor Castle. We headed out from Moreton in Marsh - overcast and achey from some tired accomodations. Transfered at Reading train station to a taxi, saw a lot of people heading back from Henley already. Changed into our proper British clothes at the Windsor hotel and headed to the castle. Quite amazing- at one time it must have surveyed the entire countryside, now the tourist shops are immediately outside the front door. A royal home since 1200, apparently Victoria spent a lot of time here as sis Elizabeth II. Saw Henry VIII armor, beautiful art and relics of an Empire. The current royals use 1/2 the property which is closed to tourists, the half we saw is still used for State dinners and ceremonies (Elizabeth's 90 th bday and her 75th wedding anniversary). After the Castle we went for a proper tea, which was great, ending the dinner at a local pub. Princeton - both the 1V and 2V are in their respective finals today, it is an amazing accomplishment. Amazing that Noah can be a part of this, fabulous momentum for next year.Leia mais
