A day at Windsor Castle... Friday 1st Sept

Yesterday we went out to Winsdor to try and meet the Queen (no luck), her castle is absolutley huge, it was real weird seeing an actual castle; very impressed. The town of Windsor is so beautiful I can see why the Queen stays there, all the streets are cobbled and very small with little old shops/ pubs/ cafes everywhere and so many hanging flowers, it reminded me of Diagon Alley (Harry Potter style), or a bit like the old fox studios/ movieworlds. Em n I spent the day exploring the streets, we had lunch (broccoli and stinton cheese soup- cheapest meal) and a pint of beer at a pub opened since 1518 (in pic). Later in night we went back to Windsor to a nightclub called Liquid (or as they say lek-wed) which is actually the best club ive ever been to; had three different rooms and was so fancy and funky, em in i carved up the dfloor, the poms were all friendly and loved talking to aussies (although so confused about Em as a halfcast), n we def werent ready to leave when it shut (cant even imagine how good London clubs must be) BUT we spent WAY to much money, eep (also very disappointed we didnt see Prince Harry who apparently hangs there a bit). We have now BOOKED and payed 3 nights in Munich for Beerfest (oct 1st w/e) camping with a tour group style package. And the Eurail, so when that is sent to us tues or wed next week we can start our trip to France. Today i went for bike ride and met some stinging nettle and saw my first native animal, a shrew, pity it was dead on the side of the road. Anyway... hope everyone well!! Till next time...
