Windsor Castle on a Saturday

Saturday had a bit of a slow start. Matt and Vikki were keen to come to Windsor with us, so we headed for the train. Matt had never been (and yes, he is a Brit).


Arrived to find most of London and the world had decided to visit. Vikki guessed it would be 2 hours in line. Sigh! The boys went to get lunch and we waited in line. Luckily there were seats and the sun disappeared behind some clouds. We did get to have a look at the town as we moved up. It was very quaint and English.




Finally, we were able to get in. We did still have to line up for our tickets and to go through security but there were some lovely photos of the Royal Family to look at as we moved through.

(Look at the cuties!)

Windsor Castle, in all its glory, was now open for us to explore.



Windsor Castle is beautiful and interesting. There is so much history. The art and tapestries are old and incredible. I had a few freak out moments when I was staring at genuine Reubens, Van Dyk and Rembrandt paintings. 

There are a number of different areas inside it. It has St George's Chapel where Prince Harry and Meghan got married. There are staterooms and the resident's areas (which you can't go into). They had a fire in 1992 (I think) and it meant some remodelling. Prince Phillip had some suggestions to help flow. Go, Prince Phillip!










After the long, but satisfying day we headed back into town where our lovely hosts had booked dinner at a restaurant. Vikki has scouted out all the best places that serve Vegan (plant-based) and we are enjoying the delicious food. Tonight was Thai Fusion with the Tower Bridge in the background. Yum!

Before we left the beautiful city of Florence, we had one more place to visit. The Cathedral of the Basilica. So after packing up our gear, finding a place to leave our bags for the day, we headed through the already hot streets to stand in line. And the line was long, and it wasn't even opening time.  Once the doors opened the line moved quickly and in no time we were in the Cathedral. We weren't too sure what to expect, but clearly, they had spent most of the money and energy on designing the outside of the building. It was still very large and had some lovely features. The dome was particularly stunning. There was a whole mass happening in one corner, and you couldn't even hear it. Amazing how these old churches were designed to accommodate multiple things happening.   We discovered that the crypt was included in our pass, so we thought we would head down to discover it. Some of us were a bit nervous at first, however, we soon discovered it w

Packing up and trying to work out what to do with our gear is never that fun, however, our kind Air BnB host had allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment till we left at 4pm. This meant we could still tick off a couple of destinations without carrying 10kg or so on our backs.  Today's destinations were the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The bus ride was easy and the walk through the little Italian streets made it quite delightful. You can always tell you are getting close though by the increase in tourists. And then we were there.  The large fountain towering over us with ... no water.  What?  Isn't it a fountain.  Turns out the thing is being cleaned, so instead we got to see men giving it a bit of a water blast. Fun.  We did some googling and found out that it is the end of an aqueduct, the only one left functioning after the Barbarians destroyed the rest. (Barbarians!) It used to be in a slightly different place in the plaza but someo

Our only full day in Florence. We had a lot to fit in. The first thing was to try our luck at getting into the gallery where 'The David' is. The line was already massive so we paid a little extra and got into a guided tour.  We were glad. No big lines, no fussing over tickets, no audio guides. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the art and the artists. We also could go around the gallery once we were finished our tour. This piece was amazing. It was by Jean de Boulogne. It was actually the plaster cast, not the real thing. When artists created their works they created a plaster cast first then the actual statue. Usually, they get destroyed but Jean didn't because he liked it so much, he kept it for himself.  This is one of the prisoners. They were created by Michaelangelo (photographed below) and were supposed to be unfinished. They were stunning and we loved hearing about their background. m But the real hi
