The GCW Tour, A Few Bits of the UK and Ireland: One Last Castle

So it turns out Windsor Castle is about five minutes from Heathrow. Since we had some time to kill, we decided to visit. It's a nice castle in a nice town, with lots of swans...


The process of getting in is kind of brutal, but if you time it right (wrong?) you can "see" the changing of the guard, in so far as anyone can see anything amidst the crowds.



And then the castle itself is very nice, and more than just rocks...






The only downside, for me, was that the process to get in took so much out of me, when I saw the lines to see the insides of the castle I just couldn't do it. So I sent the boys in -- and they seemed to really like it, seeing Sir Elton John's shield, in particular -- but since photos weren't allowed I don't have anything to show you.

But we do have some proof that the boys were there...


And that, actually, is that. From here we checked into our hotel, returned the rental car, and tomorrow we get up at the crack of dawn to get on the plane for home. 

Anything they missed, the boys will have to come back someday to see on their own. Anything I missed, well, I guess is probably going to stay missed.
