Given my new amount of upcoming free time to do touristy things, on sunny Sunday Corde, Ela, Tracy and I drove across to Windsor Castle, the Queens preferred home. Ela, has only been driving for about a year was easily flustered so it made for an entertaining journey across central London. This is by far the most impressive castle I have seen in the UK. It is exceptionally well maintained and is obviously lived in and still used.

Unfortunately the Queen was out Sunday, and not available to entertain us. But we were well entertained with the free (well included in the entry price) portable audio guides which detailed the history, important features etc of the castle. What I didn’t realise was the fact I had picked up the kids version, and I still didn’t realised for about an hour into the tour when. Only when the guide started to play eye-spy and I was trying to compete with Corde to find the objects and he didn’t have a clue what I was on about. So little Tommy, on the audio guide was leading me astray.

After the castle tour, we trekked across Widsor town to Eden college, just to have a peak at where the other half learn the three R’s. bah – It’s just another college.
