venicecruiser Posted April 21, 2022 #1231 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Beautiful photos as always! The photo of "Chippy of Windsor" made me wish I could once again enjoy some authentic British Fish and Chips - minus the mushy peas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very appreciative.....your photos are wonderful throughout the thread, but mostly happy with these of the 'Castle'. British Isles history, particularly 15th/16th centuries, is a strong interest of mine. However, since I've never visited in person, these photos capture detail not found elsewhere. I can imagine myself and the historical others moving about IN that castle. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just read the history of the Burmese Mandalay Bell you show in your pics.......interesting and displays 'the other' part of British rule.

LOL -- Iain loves Marrow Fat Peas (where mushy peas come from) but must be Bachelor's with Mint. It took me awhile to truly learn to enjoy them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Mobile was very good and the Tour Bus had high speed internet. I have some fun pictures of the rest of the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeorgiaPeach51 Posted April 21, 2022 #1237 Share Posted April 21, 2022 did you get to see Queen Mary’s Dolls House? I hope so. It is amazing. Joanie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoncruising1971 Posted April 21, 2022 #1238 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I'm loving the photos. Looks like a gorgeous day on the British coast. I was a musician in the Army for 12 years, but never got to change the guard at Windsor. Many times at Buckingham Palace, but never Windsor. We are sailing on Beyond's inaugural cruise next week, so following your journey has been getting me even more excited. Enjoy your remaining time in UK, and the rest of your cruise(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 21, 2022 Author #1241 Share Posted April 21, 2022 After the castle we just went on a wander to get out of the touristy area. Found a quaint workman’s pub and had a pub lunch. Just had a bowl of Parsnip Soup and some crusty bread. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no photographs inside any of the Castle. I sure wanted to sneak a picture. The detail of the furniture, flowers, cars etc of the doll house were incredible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your remaining time in UK, and the rest of your cruise(s) We were at the main entrance. They said it would be at 11:00 but it was pretty much finished by 11:00 and they marched up to the Castle. We have friends that got some good video at the Top of the Upper Quadrangle, which would be about 11:10 to 11:15. I hope you get as good of weather as we had. Very comfortable with just T-Shirts.

hawkesbaynz Posted April 21, 2022 #1249 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Are you late heading out? I had hoped to catch the Silhouette sailing up Southampton Water. Will be a poor photo as pretty hazy and the sun position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
