Windsor & Eton

A ride on the Tube and National Rail with all my luggage (which has grown since I got here!) deposited me in Windsor, right on the Thames. After getting settled into my B&B, I set off to explore the river with swans (the Queen's birds) and the two towns.


I wandered across a footbridge, down an appealing High Street, and through Eton College (think high school), imagining Prince William and Prince Harry around any corner. I am hereby adopting Eton's motto as my own: Keep Calm and Carry On. :)


Looking up from lunch at a riverside cafe to see Windsor Castle dominating the skyline felt like I had landed in a real live fairy tale! I'm saving that treat for tomorrow morning, hoping to catch the changing of the guard.

London

A few tweets of my four days in London: It's Friday. On Tube heading to central London for an exciting day and night. Love Never Dies tonight. At last!

Exploratory sight-seeing with Colleen and PJ this afternoon: Courts of Justice (barristers in wigs), St. Paul's Cathedral, Temple Church, King's College, Somerset House - not a bad haul for a walk up and down ONE street near the hotel!

The melodies and esquisite singing and haunting story are dancing through my head after experiencing Love Never Dies at the Adelphi Theatre in London tonight. Sierra was stunning! I am so grateful for a chance to see this show.

Portobello Road Market on a lazy Saturday with Kelaine. So very London!

Trafalgar Square on a misty yet sunny Sunday. National Gallery and St. Martin in the Field, then a stroll down Whitehall with Sierra, past #10 Downing and on to Big Ben. Houses of Parliament looked sublime as it started pouring!
