The room at the Hotel came with breakfast so we got up at 9:30 and ate. We got back to the room after eating and laid back down in the beds. At 11:30 we got back up and got everything together to head over to Windsor. Our driver was early so we got to our AirBnB early. That was not a problem and we got into the place as soon as we arrived. Our big bags were inside waiting for us, that was a relief. The shipping from Spain was not a problem the issue was the delivery. We were supposed to be able to delay the delivery but it went from pending customs clearance to delivered overnight so all the notifications came while we were sleeping. No worries, the Hosts claimed the bags and stored them for us until we were here. We took a nice walk through town and had our lunch right next to Windsor Castle. It was called the King and Castle and the logo was two chess pieces, a king and a rook (castle). We had a great lunch and then walked through the shopping district. We were impressed by the Marks and Spencer and would return later to purchase our food items. The Piper Art Bar looked inviting so we went in and put two new gins into the gin book and two GnT's in our bellies. The front window offered up good people-peeping and we enjoyed seeing everything humanity in these parts had to offer. Marks and Spencer offered up some tasty pre-made dinners that we popped into the oven for dinner.
