UK - Part 2, Windsor

We've had two great days in Windsor, my favourite town in England.

Day 1 was spent walking around the town getting bearings and checking best position for watching the Castle Guard march up from Victoria Barracks. Did the obligatory open to bus tour and got great views of Windsor Castle and Eton College.

Day 2...walked around to the barracks but was not hopeful of catching the Irish Guards in full regalia as we had been told the RAF was mounting guard....dammit!

Sure enough, out marched a mass of blue. That's not right!!!

We walked across the road to ask the Irish Guard at the gate if it would be possible to see inside the barracks and sure enough, he called on a slightly short, Nigerian born Irish Guard to show us around. Some changes have taken place inside since 1960 (!!) but it was great to see the general area. No married quarters inside the barracks any longer.

This afternoon we did a cruise on the River Thames and got great views of some very deisrable riverfront properties....well out of reach of the average budget!

Tomorrow we head off to bath and Longleat....perhaps I'll see some lions!
