Woke up this morning to no hot water and a cold shower!  Guess a pipe broke and everyone in the hotel was without.  After our English Breakfast buffet, we headed out for the day.  Our big attraction for the day was Windsor Castle, but along the way we made a stop at Abbey Road Studios.

An hour later, we found ourselves at Windsor Castle, arriving just in time for the changing of the guard.  We then toured through St. George’s Chapel, The Shakespeare Exhibit in the Library, Queen Mary’s Dolls House, and the State Apartments in the castle.

After lunch in Windsor, we headed back to London to ride the London Eye.  One revolution of the Ferris wheel takes about 30 minutes to complete and gives a bird’s eye view of London over the River Thames.  Afterwards, we saw the London Eye experience in the 4D theatre.

We then crossed the river and walked to Trafalgar Square for a few minutes of picture taking.
