Victoria Coach Station is not connected to Victoria Rail Station. It is down the street. This is good to know. Once we found the coach station we lined up at terminal 13 and then boarded our premium tour to Windsor, Laycock, and Bath. Our tour guide was Ross and the driver was named Michael. Ross was a mid twenties British hooligan. He did a great job being a tour guide. Besides making corny jokes and meeting us all individually, he carried around a fox on a pointer so people would be able to find him in crowds. Who is this guy? Sarah, Chelsea, Tracy, Justyne, Kamilla, Jessa, and I were all on the tour.
First Stop: Windsor Castle.
This palace is a favorite of the queen. I can see why. I fell in love. Pictures were not allowed inside, but if you have seen a princess movie,you know what it looks like. It took all my self-control to not belt out frozen and run through the great hall. Even then, Sarah started whisper singing Disney songs. It was huge! It was magnificent! It was royal! I did not know I could want to be a prince even more.
Princess Emily. I mean, why was Mia in Princess Diaries angry about being a prinness? Someone find me a list of eligible young men. This place is amazing.
Have I convinced you yet?
How bout now??
Sarah firing off cannons.
The Queen's Doll House. I think it was bigger than me. It was probably worth more than my house too. I have never seen such crazy detail.
No pictures inside. Go there to see for yourself. I will pay large amounts of money if someone can get me into a ball here. The state apartments are exquisite. Give yourself at least three hours to do everything at your leisure. We had and hour and a half.
Tracy, Justyne, Me, and Chelsea
WINDSOR!!
Do not make me leave.
Changing of the guard takes place here as well.
St. George Cathedral is on the grounds. Also beautiful. Would you expect any less?
Hardy's candy store. Justyne and Tracy love it. Sweet shops are cute. Think of a sweetie's, but a hundred years ago. That is Hardy's.
Justyne, Me, and Tracy
I don't think they understood how in love I was with this. It was a dream come true.
And will never be royals. *tear* I am in love with the queen, her lifestyle, and her class.
Windsor Castle is officially my favorite :) So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I want to live there. Obviously we are destined for great things because it is the queen's favorite house too.
