Day 151 - Not Invited

London (Leyton) - All Seasons Leyton

Today we visited Windsor Castle which is quite a long way out of London so we had a few train changes to get there, but the final stop drops you right off in the middle of Windsor. The flag was flying from the round tower so we knew the Queen was at home, but rather rudely she didn't come down to say hello, which was a bit poor when it had taken us such a long time to get there, we really had to go out of our way. We visited Queen Mary's huge doll house, the chapel and the amazing state rooms. The state rooms were very grand with lots of portraits of past royalty, and some of the rooms were being set up for functions to be held that evening - once again we were not invited.

We arrived back into the centre of London determined to use our London Pass as much as we could on it's last day, so we took a cruise on the Thames to Greenwich and back. It was raining on the way there but like fools we continued to sit on the top deck with our umbrella offering us little protection from the rain, but at least we could say we'd experienced English weather at its finest.
