Windsor Castle

　　　I couldn't sleep well last night. Because I was so excited as a child. Then, I woke up 5 o'clock. Of course it was too early. So, I slept again. After all I woke up at 6 o'clock, and left the house at 7.50. When I arrived at the entrance, nobudy was there. I waited. And waited. I waited for a coach for 30 minutes! Oh dear.
　　　However, the weather was getting better. Some fellow passengers were not going to Windsor. So, our coach went and stopped at London first. A leader said that we could stay in Windsor for only three hours. I asked to him if I could go back to London by myself. He looked a little surprised. Anyway, I could explain that I could find a meeting place to back to Margate, and I would never be late. He asked to me that I am a advance class student. Even though it was a lip service, I was happy.
　　　When we arrived at WIndsor Castle, there were so many people. I thought that we had to wait long time for buy the ticket. Fortunately that crowd was waiting for The Parade of Guards. They were so cool! Inside of the castle was absolutely fantastic. I entered twice so that I had a extra time. I bought the book which was the offical guidebook of the castle.
　　　At first, I thought that I bought the book written by Japanese, but somebody, who lived in my head, said that I studied English for what. So, I bought the English one.
　　　Way to the meeting place was a little adventure. I had to change trains, and when I arrived at Paddington I knew that the Circle line which I wanted to use was not in service. I had a little panic. I changed the tube many times and arrived at a meeting point at 6 o'clock. Thanks God!
