    I love this picture showing the side of St. George's Chapel with Windsor Castle in the background.
    These are the front steps into St. George's Chapel where Megan and Harry were married 6 weeks ago.

    St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle

    5 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    These are pictures of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Megan and Harry were married here 6 weeks ago. I wish we could have taken pictures of the inside of the church but it was not allowed. We had almost complete and full access to wander around. It's much smaller than it appeared on TV. We were able to walk out through where they walked out to sign the register. We were able to stand where they stood. We were not able to go into the pews where the immediate family sat though. The tombs of many past Kings and Queens are buried inside the church as well.Leer más

    Kensington Palace, London, England

    5 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Kensington Palace is the current home of Prince William and Catherine, Prince Harry and Megan and a few other Royals. It was the palace we had the most access to plus it was just up the street from our hotel. The first State Rooms we toured belonged to William and Mary (see pictures below). We then toured the display of Diana's clothing (see separate footprint) and then went through the section on Victoria (see separate footprint as well).Leer más

    Victoria Collection, Kensington Palace

    We really enjoy watching the Victoria show on TV so this was of special interest. Victoria was born and grew up in Kensington Palace. At that time it was out in the countryside. We saw the room she came to and held the meeting with all the important people of the country. This within hours of unexpectedly becoming Queen at the age of 18 .Leer más

    Sunken Garden, Kensington Palace

    5 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    This is located directly behind the palace. Apparently Diana used to love wandering through here. This year it's designed to reflect and compliment her clothing display. I believe last year it was all done in white flowers to honour the anniversary of her death.Leer más

    Tower of London is located right beside Tower Bridge

    Tower of London, London, England

    6 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    The crown jewels were the highlight here. There was a long line to see them but it moved fairly quickly. We waited about 40 minutes. Sorry no pictures as it's not allowed. There's old walls here dating back to Roman times. The inner towers construction was started by William the Conqueror. Here again we could have spent more time but we were trying to see as many things as possible.Leer más

    Harrods Department Store, London, UK

    6 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    This was hands down the most expensive meal we will have on the trip and it was in a department store! This place is massive with departments for everything. There's even various places to eat. We ate at The Rotisserie which was a counter with stools in the food department. I loved my meal, Doug said his duck wasn't quite cooked enough. We had about 2 hours to wander through here before it closed. I think it would take 2 days to see everything.Leer más

    Big Bus Hop on Hop off Tour, London, UK

    6 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    These are a good way to see the city but are a bit hard to catch. We had a terrible time with this in Paris. The loop to see it all in Paris was 2 and a half hours, in London it's 4 hours. You have earphones in and you hear about all the sites in the city as you drive past. You can get off and back on again at stops throughout the city. We almost did the entire loop in London. Our final stop was Harrods department store. We just missed a couple of stops after that. Attached are some of the places we drove by. It would have been nice to stop at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye etc. But we only had so much time. There are no pictures of Big Ben as it was completely covered in scaffolding and couldn't be seen.Leer más

    Gatwick Airport Car Rental, Horely, UK

    7 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Doug decided to pay a little extra to have an automatic transmission car. They gave us the keys to a Mercedes C class car and we loaded everything in, unfortunately someone had overridden the navigational system so it would only communicate in Russian. An employee worked on it but had no luck so they upgraded us again to a Mercedes E class car. We are enjoying this ride!Leer más

    Bodmin Goal (Jail), Bodmin, England

    8 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Shortly before the trip I learned that my GG Grandfather (Robert Wonnacott) had been incarcerated here at the age of 14 in 1865. It didn't take much for the poorer classes to end up here at that time we learned. I was able to see what is left of the cell block he would have been in.Leer más

    Porthcurno, England

    8 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We headed here as some scenes from the show Poldark that we like, were filmed here. It was part of our day of looping around the western edge of Cornwall. It looked like a nice enough beach but it was an awfully long walk to it down a hill.Leer más

    Botallack Mine, Botallack, England

    8 de julio de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Tin mines were big in Cornwall starting in the 1700's through to the 1900's. You could wander freely among the ruins of these mines on the cliffs above the sea. It was very, very pretty. This is also the location where some of the mine scenes from Poldark were filmed.Leer más
