It’s the 3rd day. I started to feel like I wanted to go out for sight-seeing. For some reasons I had to stay at the Park Inn, so I decided to go to Winsor Castle, which I heard it was close to Heathrow. I knew nothing about it other than “it’s the Queen’s residence”. No map. No internet means no information.
I went to Heathrow anyway expecting trains from there. At first I went to the central bus station near to Terminal 1/2/3, but was told to go to Terminal 5. And at Terminal 5, I finally found out that I could take a local bus from there, not by coach. The return ticket fee was 5.50 or so.
After 45mins trip, the bus got to Winsor….Well, it is the castle. (Of course, it is!) It was such a huge building, inside was so regal, I can make just a typical comment as it looked such a typical catsle. I wonder how Queen’s life would be living in this kind of place? Imagine, having lots of tourists visiting your home everyday would be a bit crazy, wouldn’t it?
Queen Mary’s doll’s house was amazing. Details are so well done, and it is so big, splendid, it was more than just a “doll house”. Also St. George’s Chapel was so beautiful. Its decoration on the ceiling was like CG art. Delicate lines were more than beautiful.
Photos in the buildings is forbidden, so this is a photo from the outside.
I had to leave early as I went out lately, but if you look at each rooms carefully listening to the guide, it must take almost one day!
After leaving the castle, I had a lunch at an Italian restaurant. It looked really tasty, but I would like not to comment on foods in this country anymore.
There are some shopping streets as well as souvenir shops. I enjoyed walking around there.
The next photo was taken from just a bit away from Winsor. I thought close distance between Queen and people was really “British” .
