My Euro Travel in Windsor Castle, England

I randomly picked a photo from my picture files for my Euro Travel entry this afternoon. I landed in Windsor Castle in England. Here is the picture taken during our walked around the castle. Before we went there, I told a friend that I don't want to go inside the castle because I know for sure I will pay for entrance when going inside. As we already arrived in Windsor in the county of Berkshire, I changed my mind and decided to pay for the entrance fee to watch inside the castle. I guess it cost around 14.50 Sterling pounds. You can go there by train from London. It is not even an hour ride. Here I am enjoying my walk around the castle. Sad to say, you are not allowed to take pictures inside the rooms of the castles.

Kaiserburg, The Castle in Nuernberg, Germany



This is the Imperial castle in Nuremberg or Nuernberg, Germany. Nuremberg Castle is located on a sandstone rock in the north of the historical city of Nuremberg, Germany. It comprises three parts: the Emperor's buildings ("Kaiserburg"), the mostly built buildings of the rulers of Nuremberg ("Burggrafenburg"), and the buildings on the eastern side ("städtische Burganlage"). The castle was damaged in the Second World War but then reconstructed; today it is one of the main landmarks in Nuremberg.

I visited this castle for the first time last December 2007 even though, I had been to Nuremberg for a couple of times already. It was freezing cold as we made a visit here!!
