Windsor castle
With friends in town we decided to take a day off and visit Windsor Castle. Thankfully the weather held out and we got to see one of the world's greatest castles with no queues..hurrah!
Windsor Castle is the world's oldest continually habitable castle. People have been living in it since about 900 AD.
The highlight of the trip was State Apartments. Sadly you were not allowed to take pictures inside the apartments, but they truly have to be seen to be believed. I've never seen so much gold used as an interior decorative trim.
At one state, we arrived at one of the huge dining rooms (I think it was the King George room from memory) and Lucas was greeted without 100 metres of royal carpet. I was quite tired from holding him throughout the apartments (no strollers were allowed inside) so I just let him loose and he crawled around.. much to the amusement of the staff members!
Note the huge crowds present on a Thursday afternoon ;)
I even managed to get some footage of one of the guards stretching his legs.
