Our trip to England was jam-packed with lots of interesting experiences and things to see. One side trip we took was to Windsor Castle. The Queen was home, as evidenced by the flag.
I didn't see any guards on top of the turrets, but there were plenty of redcoats on the grounds.
I was surprised to find that the castle isn't just one building, but rather a small village enclosed in a wall. There is a waterfall hidden in all this greenery. Pictures don't do it justice.
People, besides the Queen, live here. This little dog was running to greet his owners as they arrived home.
I imagine it takes an army of gardeners to maintain the elaborate gardens.
The changing of the guard takes place each day with lots of pomp. There was a band marching and playing as well.
And how could I pass up this opportunity?
The town of Windsor is right outside the castle walls.
There is plenty of shopping in Windsor.
We did get to tour the royal apartments, which are amazing! However, photography isn't allowed inside so you'll just have go see them for yourself!
