Day 5

Day 5 started a bit late.  Late in the morning, we strolled down the road to Duncan's local fish store.  It's maybe 100 yards away.  The shop is nice with a large pond section and good looking tanks with large, healthy fish.  It was interesting to see the product lines.  I scored a book for a pound that we can't even get back home!

Duncan's parents arrived while we were gone.  Nice folks.  They picked up the kids for the week and then we were off again.  Duncan agreed to drop us off at Windsor Castle, which is close by.  He got us within sight and we found our way up to the entrance.  After going through the entrance and security, we ran into Roy.  Roy was the last tour guide of the day, and he didn't have anyone to guide, so we volunteered.  Roy was very nice and very informative.  Turns out we just missed the Queen by about 30 minutes.  Once inside the castle we saw an amazing doll house, china set after china set and amazing room after amazing room.  It started to rain while we were inside, but had let up by the time we went back outside.  We missed a golden opportunity to scarf a palace guard when I discovered that the camera battery was dead and I had failed to bring the replacement.  Then we wanted down to the river in the rain and waited fro Duncan.  I made it up to brenda by procuring fish and chips for dinner.  (By "procuring", I basically mean asking Duncan to stop and pick some up on the way home)
