I had never been to Windsor before, so Becky and I decided to visit the castle during our time here in London. We took the train from Paddington to Slough and changed there for Windsor. We walked along by the Thames for a bit. Windsor seems to be overrun with swans and they are very large birds and quite intimidating.
After this we took a boat trip down to Boveney Lock and back which provided us with nice views of Windsor race course and various posh houses owned by people like Natalie Imbruglia, Michael Caine and Jimmy Page. We also passed some boys from Eton who were out rowing on the river.
After that it was off to a coffee shop for some hot drinks and scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream - yum.
We did a bit of souvenir shopping then headed to the castle for 1pm. The castle grounds are very pretty. We went in St George's chapel and saw the Queen's resting place. Also looked around the state apartments where there were some very impressive portraits of former monarchs. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed inside the buildings. So I had to content myself with views of the castle grounds.
