A weekend in Windsor part I - Sightseeing tour
Having visited Windsor two times:
1. Day trip to the Castle and Starbucks
2. Training day with work
It was definitely somewhere I wanted to explore further and I was whisked away for a romantic weekend in Windsor.
This blog post is in two parts as there were too many photos.
Sightseeing bus
The sightseeing bus lasted approx.45 mins and it provides you with a nice snapshot of Windsor and Eton. Highly recommend if you are tight for time. Also ladies and gents with long hair, it is advisable to bring a bobble, it can get windy on the top. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
