Eton college was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. We got to sit in the first class room used by the college. It is still used today for some language classes.
A couple hundred year old graffiti.
After Eton College we walked back across the Themes on our way to Windsor. The Castle was not easy to get into as we had to go through airport style security since its a public building.
Here is entering the castle.
There are many gardens through out the castle. It was interesting to see that some of them had palm like trees.
Here is the queens private residence. We were not allowed in there.
Here is St. Georges Chapel. Check out the clock, I'm not sure how it works.
Leading up to St. Georges are the royal steps where the Bride and Groom exit after a royal wedding.
Of course it wouldn't be Windsor with out the stationed guard. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted at Windsor because we were not allowed to take pictures inside the buildings, which were the coolest parts. There were a bunch of English weaponry, suits of armor and other English things inside the halls including the worlds largest doll house.
My trip ended as I left the castle and headed back to the train station. I did get a good haha at the train station as I past this bar and grill.
