Getting up early is the key to getting Windsor on the bus. I had a wonderful day today exploring the castle, the town of Windsor, and neighboring Eton. Just like the Tower of London, Windsor Castle is more sprawling than I expected. It also had an impressive collection of art, not just royal portraits. There was a special exhibit on royal weddings in the gallery. Interesting fact, when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip married in 1947 and the rationing from the war was still in place, their wedding cake was made from ingredients that were gifts from other countries. If you tour the Castle, do not get so taken in with the interiors that you forget to look out the windows. The Castle sits on a hill so the views from almost all of the windows are really beautiful.
