My Trip to England in Photos - Warwick Castle

Warwick castle, or as its slogan says: Britain's ultimate castle...

Inside the castle - lifelike wax figures are telling stories of past times...

One day is not really enough to see everything there is in the Warwick castle, not to mention the town itself! So if I'm lucky, I'll go back for more someday...

My Trip to England in Photos - Windsor

This September we went to England! We visited a very small part of the country actually - just London and some nearby towns. But it was truly delightful!

First stop: Windsor...

The Long Walk

I have to confess that we went there only for the castle. I had no idea that the town would be so absolutely charming!



The Crooked House of Windsor :)




Windsor Castle ...



At the back - the Round Tower






A view from the castle over the town and river Thames.

The South Wing of the Upper Ward

St. George's Chapel

King Henry VIII Gate


A boat trip on the Thames - one of the things you should do when visiting Windsor!



A glimpse of modern street art along the river ...
... an interesting contrast to the 
 historic town!

Views from the boat along the river:




A clock on the sidewalk :)

Leaving Windsor before sunset, wishing to go back soon...
