Easter Trip

Easter break 2010 - Windsor castle, Stonehenge and Beaulieu

Windsor castle is one of the biggest and oldest castle in the world
We reached there about 10:45am, good timing to watch the changing guard, it starts at 11am







after that, queue for a while to buy the entrance ticket (student price £14.50)
what surprise me was the check-up before enter into the castle
it was exactly the same check-up when u take a flight
so strict, maybe it's bcoz some royal families still living here
after that, got the audio guide (free) and start our discovery journey
there is a place shows the internal room of the castle
another room showing royal's appliance such as meal ware, clothes, weapon and etc.
has a gallery room, give some history of Henry VIII
a cathedral where some royal's families buried there
we spent about 4 hours there and before we went out
the staff stamped on our ticket meaning we can visit the castle again for free within 1 year

Stonehenge -- a mystery place

















with few stones standing on the grass
but no one knows the meaning of it and dunno how was it built
from the audio guide, all descriptions started with: it should be....
meaning they are not sure also, all with guessing
so we spent the time by taking photo rather than try to understand it
student price: £5.90


Another day, we went to Beaulieu
for photo on my facebook, please click here
it is allocated at South of England, New Forest
it takes about 2 hours drive from London
adult ticket - £16.00

















it is a nice place to spent a day
with family or a group of friends
Beaulieu means
beautiful place in France
There is a National Motor Musuem
with lots of old vehicles, F1, sign vehicles such as Mr. Bean's car,
special vehicles such as Creme Egg car, future car and etc.
there is another room showing
some vehicles from James Bond's movie and World of Top Gear
to see some picture, please click here
since we brought our lunch so we spent some time to picnic there
relax and enjoy the nice weather, environment and flowers
Also, a Pallace House is allocated inside (forgot who's Palace)
and a Beaulieu Abbey (church), a garden (should have more flowers during summer time)
