Windsor Castle and Bath

Part 2 of our weekend excursion: After we dropped off our friend in London (yes, Ian did drive in and out of London) we then took a day trip to Windsor Castle and Bath. Windsor was a cool castle but expensive to go in and tour around so we stayed outside its walls and split a Moroccan dish on some steps that overlooked the castle. We watched men holding machine guns by the gates and thought it was strange but then realized they were protecting a national treasure. (FYI-Police here do not carry guns or knives, accept when protecting national treasure sites). One of our friends who is a policeman, told us that criminals know this a are more reluctant to carry pistols because they knew police don't have them often times. By sunset we made it to a beautiful city in the countryside called Bath. A city originally discovered by the Romans who found hot springs there. In addition to the ancient Roman baths, there is also the National Jane Austin Centre. Unfortunately, the centre was was closed by the time we got there but we loved Bath so much we are planning a trip back. Here are some highlights...
