I had the opportunity to visit London in February en route to Spain. Because of the protest in the city center regarding the potential war in Iraq I was diverted to Windsor Castle. It turned out to be a real treat. The queen was actually in that day and it was pleasant strolling around the castle.
To be correct while it is a short distance from London the Windsor Castle is actually located in Windsor.

He didn't move while I took this snap. I am not sure if that is good etiquitte or not? |

Here are some sites all for the Thames! The ThamesThe Thames IIThe Thames III |

Good page Jamie - pity about the protest & yes you're right - The Queen owns all swans in the UK - but don't tell the swans they too think they're free!! | b1bob Sun Dec 26, 2004 15:30 UTC
Cats in the pub at lunchtime? Might be a little crunchy. | Mariajoy Fri Nov 19, 2004 17:11 UTC
