A Weekend in Review

This Saturday, the University of Portland London Business & Nursing Programs all went to Windsor Castle!
We got up at 8am and assembled outside our flats at 9:45 to get on the tube and head to Waterloo Station! Once there, we waited for the other group to board our train. We finally arrived at Windsor at around noon, and got to skip a very long line and go straight into the receiving ticket and  metal detector process. I think we can all say it was definitely worth the wait!

First Sightings of The Castle

St George's Chapel

We toured the castle beginning with St. George's Chapel, which was absolutely gorgeous. It was a cool Chapel and really interesting to tour and hear the background of. 

Next, we toured the inside of the castle, which included Queen Mary's Dollhouse, the Royal Gallery, and the State Apartments. No pictures were allowed to be taken inside, but it was absolutely gorgeous and hearing about the fire that broke out in 1997 and how they rebuilt it was very cool!

With the Royal Guard! (Everyone seems to be obsessed with them...)

 After we toured the State Apartments, we hung around and took some pictures before heading out to the City of Windsor looking for food before going back to our flats. 

Even Little Boom had to get a picture at the Castle!

 Megan and I decided to head back on the train at that point to go back to our flats and get some homework done. However, we decided to go shopping instead and spent a couple of hours hanging out and having a great time! :) 

Spectacular view from the train!

 After we got back, I hung out in the flat for the next couple of hours and got some homework done before going to bed.

On Sunday, we all slept in and had a relaxing day. Larisa and I went shopping, and I was able to visit the London Disney Store! I was super excited and I got a cute T-Shirt!

I got the Grey Shirt with the Minnie Bow on it. :) I may go back for the white one though... they are all so cute!!

Then we came back, hung out and did more homework for awhile, before heading out to dinner at 7 and coming back for our weekly group meeting and dessert at 9. It was a relaxing day but I am looking forward to the week ahead! On Monday we are visiting King's Cross Station, on Tuesday we're visiting Costco over here to have a presentation, Wednesday we are seeing The Tempest at the Globe Theater, Thursday we are visiting Westminster Abbey, and Friday we are going to tour the Inns of Court.

Looks like a fun and jam packed week! 

Until next time!
