London - Windsor and Eton

Windsor Castle was one of the most beautiful places we'd ever seen! The grounds were immaculate and the castle itself was very homey and welcoming (we took a tour of the inside, but weren't allowed to take pictures). The Queen still spends her weekends in Windsor and the building you see behind the guard below is the Queen's private residence. In the picture where I'm on the sidewalk, you can see just how centrally the castle is located...I'm standing between the castle wall and the little shops on the High Street. The village has literally sprung up just outside the castle walls!

We crossed the Windsor-Eton bridge to see the small town of Eton and Eton College where Prince William attended. Unfortunately, we were there very late in the afternoon and most shops and the campus were closed. If you're ever in need of antiques, Eton is the place to go!
