A perfect weekend place if you are around UK, frequent trains from Stains to Windsor all the day. Anand and myself decided to explore the 900-year-old remains of one of the working palaces of UK where the Queen resides presently and is going to hold the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles on 8th of April. We were stunned with the giant walls stand tall guarding the Queen’s home just outside the Windsor station.

“Over 900 years ago William the Conqueror, with the help of his victorious armies commenced construction of the castle. The site was chosen with great care; high above the river Thames on the edge of the Saxon hunting grounds. The castle was a days march from London and guarded the western approaches. It is a massive castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world and it is bigger than people realise.

The collection of guns and swords acquired during various war against India, China and other countries just reflect the power of such a small nation which ruled the world with iron hands. Tipu Sultan’s Sword and Gifts were also part of the collection.
