Day Trip

We got up bright and early this morning to catch a tour from Victoria Coach Station. Our tour guide, Anita Baker, was a real live Mary Poppins with her navy outfit and matching umbrella. We started with a drive to Winsor Castle where we took a tour of the State Apartments, the Queen's Doll's house and the Cathedral. The doll house had working plumbing and the wine bottles in the wine cellar were actually filled with wine.

From there we were back in the bus for another hour and a half to Stonehenge. There wasn't much to do there but look at the rocks...which was cool. We then had another couple of hours in the bus to Oxford. Unfortunately we only had an hour to tour around. We booked it to Christ Church College to check out the dining hall where they filmed Harry Potter. The dining hall was actually closed because the colleges were all having graduation, but Kate was brave enough to sneak past the 'closed' signs and the guard. We felt quite rebellious.

After getting back to London, we hit a couple of pubs in Mayfair and then headed out to dinner in South Kensington for great Thai. We had a very long day but so much fun!
