【溫莎】Windsor Castle－il Giardino Romantico

Nearing the end of my 2009 UK tour, I only had enough budget and time for either Hampton Court or Windsor. While I still couldn't make up my mind, my friend, with whom I was staying, kindly shared her opinion and decided that Windsor was definitely the one to choose. Well, at the end of the day, I wasn't at all disappointed. But I will always wonder... what Hampton Court is like....

我的2009年英國旅遊將近尾端時，我知道我只有足夠的經費及時間要在Hampton Court與Windsor之間擇一。這兩個地方若沒去過當然是很難選擇。在詢問好心收留我的好友意見之後，她覺得一定要去溫莎。這也就幫了我做了一個大抉擇。雖然逛了一整天下來一點都不失望，但我心裡永遠都會掛念著一個念頭：Hampton Court到底是啥樣子呢？

Queen Victoria (I think) 維多利亞女王（應該是）

This is a medieval castle, dating back all the way to William the Conqueror's time.
這也是間中古世紀的城堡。從威廉一世那時期開始的～

It has the longest history of occupied castles.
不過這可跟別的荒廢城堡不同，這間可是一直有在住人的。

The Queen isn't in today, luckily.
女王很忙（所以不在）

I was not alone. 其實我不是一個人～

Little garden 小花園

This little Round Tower took up a lot of space in my memory card...
這個小圓塔佔了一堆記憶卡空間...

Picturesque 好像圖畫！好美！

The sky wasn't that glorious on this side. 這邊的藍天就沒那麼藍了！

I'm not a toy soldier! 我不是玩具！

帥喔！

Gargoyles 石像鬼～

St. George's Chapel (Built by Henry VIII) 聖喬治禮拜堂（亨利八世建造）

Again! 又來了！

They were really cute. 它們好可愛喔（誤：應該要覺得很man才對，可是我還是覺得可愛比較貼切）

NT$100! 新台幣耶！

So, what did you think? There were many exhibit rooms you can visit, but none of them allow photography (which is probably a good thing). You could easily spend the entire day wandering around!

怎麼樣呢？還不錯吧？有很多展示可以參觀，不過都不能拍照。（這樣也好省點事～）要在這裡殺掉一整天的時間真的很容易呀！

Last, but certainly not least, is me and the soldier:
最後當然還是要嚇人一下：我與步兵的合照～
