Winsor is mere half hour train ride from London. We reached early morning where the streets were relatively quiet.
We then found out that the Castle was not open to public until after noon because it was Sunday. Apparently, the Queen was in residence and would be attending Easter Sunday morning service at the St George's Chapel inside the Castle compounds. We hence decided we would attend the Service in the hope to catch a glimpse of the Queen (see subsequent post).After the service, we left the Castle compounds and was mildly surprised by a long snakeline of visitors who had already formed outside the Castle entrance, waiting to be admitted. This was a sharp contrast to the deserted streets just in the morning. Seeing the crowd, we decided to go for lunch. But the line remained long after our lunch hour. Fortunately, it took us about 35 minutes to get in.
Photography was not allowed inside the Castle. The state apartments were huge, lavishly decorated with treasures and art pieces from the Royal Collection. We were awed! The Queen Mary's Dolls House was interesting too.
Outside St George's Chapel
Fred was listening to the audio guide, not calling on his mobile.
After our Castle tour, we spent the remaining time walking across the River Thames, towards he direction of Eton.
But we were too tired to walk all the way to Eton College. So the only photo I have is this t-shirt print inside a shop window.
