The Warwick Castle

Hiya! Ladies... how are u all doing?

A couple of months ago I visited The Warwick City, England with my family. This is a very beautiful and rich city and you get to see lot of historic buildings and architecture which is thousands of yr old! 

One of the most famous spots in this city was the WARWICK Castle...
I got to visit this BIG and Huge Castle and I loved it. So I will take you guys into the castle and show you guys some interesting aspects.

As you walk into the building you are "awe struck "with this huge amazing view of the castle!  which lets you say WOw!! Just wow..

A peek Inside the Castle 





They had bath tubs too! 

Wow Can you guys spot the "BABYs High CHAIR". So many years ago they had a baby high chair.. The people must have been really smart back then.


Below are some of the rooms.. The rooms were so amazing with such nice furniture made with teak/rose wood. Just imagine how these people used to live such lavish life. Lucky People...!!!!

Ladies Bedroom

I LOVED this room! Amazing amazing..  

The BIG Royal DINING table.

Way to the tower outside the Castle


You can get a very beautiful n spectacular view of the castle and the surroundings if you walk up to the tower. Although you need some energy to climb up top but it is worth it..




If you wish to spend the whole day at the castle then you can attend many ongoing  shows and events over there like -Long sword fighting lessons, archery demonstration, the trebuchet fireball show, fighting of the eagles etc

Down below is the demonstration of the medieval battle.. All tourists gathered here to watch a small show put together where they showed how the battle used to take place. The trebuchet throws its missile over 150 meters!

The Warwick trebuchet show!


The view was amazing from the riverbanks !! Firing took place with the Warwick trebuchet! It was a nice show to sit and just watch


We tried archery over here and I wasn't so bad at it.. 
Archery lessons..

Really It is a must visit castle - not to be missed!! 

I will be back soon with yet another city and yet another adventure!!

Welcome to CAMBRIDGE university

One of the oldest and most talked about Universities in the world is the "University of Cambridge". 
It is located in the city Cambridge, England. 
The city itself is a University town, meaning the city is built for the university colleges. 

I had the pleasure of visiting this city last monday. It was just a one day trip to the city since it is close to were I live.


Cambridge City
There are about 31 colleges in the city. Some of which are next to each other and some are connecting to each other. We visit quite a few colleges. Almost all colleges are open to visitors and tourist and also have an entrance fee.

Seriously these photos below don't give any justice to the colleges. All of the colleges have such amazing architecture and amazing view, with amazing well maintained gardens. The view is so pleasing to the eyes. It can't be described, it just has to be seen through your eyes..

College No.1
College No.2

College No.3

College No.4
A great way to see the place is to hire these "bikes". University students use them too.
College No.5 (Kings College)

Kings College entrance



View inside Kings college.. amazing architecture and how lucky are the students who study here?? Wow! wat a great college to study in...

It was a hot day in cambridge, so we got some crepes to go.
The restaurant here served water in this "glass" below. Well!! what a weird glass is this? han..?
 Shaped like a cone, which cant be layed on the table.. Hahaha... :)
Sweet Crepes with nutella and banana topping.

Punting tour in Cambridge.
This has got to be the best possible way to explore the university colleges. 🚣Punting is very famous at this place. Many "punters" are ready to offer you many good deals to take you punting.
You can hire the punters or you can do it yourself if your not terrified of loosing your balance and falling down in the river(unlike us!! :))




It is the most ideal way to explore the city.
A little bridge down the lane which connects some colleges.

The river runs through the heart of Cambridge, which allows you to enjoy fantastic views of the world famous colleges. This tour lasts for 45mins approx. Just sit back and relax while they take you along the banks proving you interesting information about the city.

Cool little Punters, punting away. I felt like it was the mini version of Italy.!!!:)

Every city talks to you and teaches you so many different things. I am always interested to explore a different place and have new experiences. I am loving this new experiences of my life with my new husband. This has to be by far the best place I have visited in the UK.
