Windsor

 Moored on Baths Island - nightly fee has gone up from £4 last year to £8 this year but it is a nice spot

St George’s Chapel and Albert memorial
Whilst walking around Windsor Castle and later through the town we saw quite a few Olympians from Poland, Russia, Greece and a group from the GB Team - brilliant!

and today’s visitors - George’s sister Diane and husband Paul - great to see you both again.
