Lord of the Rings or Robin Hood February 13

Well I couldn’t lay around for two whole days so I was determined to do some sightseeing today with Kendra and others. Like many others was still feeling awful – you have probably heard enough by now about our sickness and diarrhea - trying to eat but just not feeling well. Anyway after breakfast we walked down to town and bought some bits and pieces (always important to stock up when possible) to visit the castle. So glad we did – it was amazing! Seemed like an old English castle – reminded me of Robin Hood stories! (despite the Tolkien sounding names) Amazingly well preserved – always makes me wonder how many people actually used some of these places – could still see tool marks in the floor – it was great – I think I managed to get some good photos. It was built around 1640 and the battlements, towers and turrets definitely have a European influence. Was really pleased to have achieved something on this second day off – but was ready for another early night and hopefully recover enough for tomorrow’s ride.
