Way back when...

This last Saturday, June 13th, I toured Windsor Castle, City of Bath – Roman Bath, and Stonehenge. Each place was fantastic to visit and wished we had more time at Windsor Castle and Bath. The tour took us on an hour bus drive which viewed the country side of wheat, cattle, and sheep, our first stop was to Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle is where the Queen of England stays mostly, however she was in London celebrating her birthday, so once again, did not get to have tea with her. I did get to see the start of Changing of the Guards, Queen Mary's Doll House, and several other parts of the castle.

Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen.

"The Castle's dramatic site encapsulates 900 years of British history. It covers an area of 26 acres and contains, as well as a royal palace, a magnificent chapel and the homes and workplaces of a large number of people."

The second stop on the tour was the City of Bath, Bath is a quaint little city…several places to shop, eat ice cream, and a great place to relax and watch street entertainers playing music or juggling fire torches. There is a Roman Bath museum that was included in our tour. I walked in the foot steps of Romans and was amazed at the building structure and the statues guarding the large spa. For .60cents, I toss down a glass of warm mineral spring water that is known to make you look 10 yrs younger…I believe it’s working…anyway I felt it was working, it was a good excuse to enjoy an afternoon chocolate scoop cone. There was so much to see and do, however the tour did not allow the time needed to really enjoy Bath. This will be on my bucket list for another time in England.

The third and final stop was to Stonehenge. Its mind-boggling how those large stones arrived and a wonder what the formation means. It will remain a mystery…
