Windsor Castle!

Today I had to part from my dear Amy, we woke up at 8am and she drove me to the East Midlands Airport by 9am... It was so sad to say our "byes for now" after a month of being stuck together. I honestly had the time of my life with her and it will be a few days of getting used to not being around her. I need to give a "shout out" to her and thank her for everything. Her home, Her food, Her friendship, Her time! I would not have been able to do any of this without her love and support! I love you so much, Amy!!!
(I will do an Amy and Christopher blog wrap up soon!)

OK.. so I took a 3 hour bus ride down to London, a trolley to Heathrow Airport, then a shuttle to my hotel. After checking in I immediately went right back out to catch a bus to Windsor. I have to say that so far, Windsor has been my favorite part of England. It is a beautiful place, super clean, posh, classic, lovely all around. When I got off the train I could see the magnificence of Windsor Castle from the train landing.

I worked my way through Windsor Station, The Royal Shopping Market...And out onto the main road where it was just lined with the massiveness of the castle walls.

Sadly, I was just shy of getting in for a tour, I didn't make the last group.. so I had to walk around the outside rather than go inside...Which was fine by me as I had already been IN Buckingham Palace!
Her Majesty the Queen was in residence at Windsor, she was right inside!

A view from above to give you an idea of the size!


I had dinner all by myself at a place called "The King and Castle"
This was my view from my table!
