Windsor Castle & Abbey Road

Saturday morning we hopped on the bus with our local tour guide, Stuart, who guided us thought the streets of London to all the tourists sights giving us a comical version of the history behind each of the sights.  He was very informative and enjoyable to listen to.  We took in the Troupe of the Colors. practise and the real parade will be held next weekend.  The Queen celebrates 2 birthdays, the actual day of her birth and the 3rd Saturday of June every year.  Only the Queen has 2 birthdays.  The parade of  the bands and quarts was quite something to see.

In the afternoon we made our way out to Windsor Castle.  The Queen was in residence today and we are quite sure she invited us for a tea and scone.  It was indeed very tasty I must say.  We made our way to the castle entrance and did a walk about through the grounds seeing the actual residence of Her Majesty.  We continued on through the castle seeing the various rooms.  It was very impressive and we couldn't believe how enormous the rooms were.  A table with full service could be set for a gathering of up to 126.  Just happy I don't have to prepare a meal for that many at my house.  This was quite something to see.

This was our last day in London so we just had to check out Abbey Road so we hopped onto a double-decker bus (just to say we had a ride on one).  Not sure what we expected but it was a little disappointing.  It is a residential area that had Avery small studio on the corner.  The walls around the studio had graffiti on them so Margaret M wrote her message on the wall.

We will all have great memories of London.  This would be somewhere we could return to express some more.  Too many things to see and do in four days.
