Day 126 = May 9

Today Amanda and I went out to Windsor Castle.  We took a different train route than I had taken before.  It took less time than the other way that I had taken and found out that it provided a better view of the castle on the way in so that was cool. We got into town and walked out of the train station up to the castle and there was a huge group of people along the street and we did not know what was going on.  Come to find out that the changing of the guard was taking place and we were there just at the right time to watch them walk into the castle.  It was not as big as the one at Buckingham Palace but it was still cool.  

We then went into the castle and looked around.  I have seen the castle twice but it was still cool to go back and see again.   After we were done in the castle we walked around to the front side of the castle to what is called the Long Walk which is a 2 and ½ mile long walked up to the main entrance of the castle.  That was something that I had not seen before.  After that we got something to eat at the same place I had eaten before.  We got some candy and then headed back to London.  When we got into London we went to the Natural History Museum for a little while.  I had been there when I was in London the first time but it was neat to go back to.  

We then went to the King’s Cross Train station so Amanda could see the platform 9 ¾ from the movies of Harry Potter.  After that we got some food from Tesco for supper and then went back to the hostel.  We got stuff packed up and went to bed.
