Windsor Castle, Windsor, England

Windsor Castle was very scenic. Lineups were very long so we were unable to see the State Rooms or Queen Mary's doll house. St. George's chapel was amazing though (see separate footprint).

No explanation needed as to what this is. We were again amazed at how much smaller it is than you think. The balcony that you see them on is not that high up and not that far away from the gates.
