So, unfortunately, we did not make it out to Stonehenge. No time, lack of funds, and we really wanted to see Windsor Castle, the place that the Queen of England calls home.
But I did run through Hyde park in the morning and it was perfect. The weather was beautiful and other people were out their jogging and walking through the park. I really got to explore some of the nooks and crannies of the park. So cool.
We took a bus up to Windsor from London - no air conditioning! whoo hoo! fun ride =)
The castle was incredible, and the town around it was so quaint. We took an audio tour through the castle and it was really interesting. Of course, the rooms and artwork were incredible, and the tour taught so much about English tradition. It's amazing the way English culture values their royalty. The monarchy is truly an icon of tradition and history, even today. It's such an incredible feeling to imagine people of importance walking through those rooms just within the past couple of centuries.
We finished our tour, and got back on the bus to London, still no bags, but we've got more plans. =(
We get packed up for our day trip to Dublin and head out to King's Cross Station (from Harry Potter!) to catch a train to the airport in Luton.
