| Windsor Castle |
Today was our bus tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Lacock,
and Bath. So, before I talk about the different stops along the
tour, let’s just talk about the English countryside for a minute. It’s
gorgeous. Not as green as Ireland, but England has trees. It’s so pretty.
Ok, so we started at Windsor Castle. It was a lot of fun. It
was gorgeous inside. My favorite part was the weapons. There were hundreds of
swords, rifles, and pistols everywhere. They had whole rooms devoted to them. They were
criss-crossed on the walls and in glass cases. There was even one that had 3
rings of pistols that encircled a golden unicorn head. I mean, how cool is
that?! It was super cool. They also had some blue swords. They had sapphires
all over the hilts. It was great. However, my favorite experience during
Windsor Castle was when one of the girls in our group started singing Frozen songs because
it totally fit with the castle. She sang under her breath. She wasn’t belting
it. But, she sang For the First Time in
Forever and Do You Want to Build a
Snowman? It was great. We saw this massive doll house that they had there
as well. It was amazingly intricate. Very impressive. The whole castle was
pretty impressive. We stepped into the chapel there too. There were lots of
monarchs buried there. Henry VIII was one. But, the organ pipes were gorgeous.
There were hundreds of them and they were all elaborately painted. I wish I’d
been allowed to take a picture. They were amazing and so was the woodwork
surrounding them.
