Warwick Castle

Less words and more pictures. Warwick Castle is a small castle almost intact, despite the battles that have been here. In contrast with Kenilworth Castle, not far away, which is ruins now. The explanation is simple, it looks like Warwick was changing sides lots of times during wars, so the castle wasn't attacked so much.

Inside, now they are trying to show the life in the medieval ages in the castle.
Right at the entrace you have an old band, performing medieval songs, also there are some fools, playing with the kids and mocking everyone.
The bodyguard... I knew him, so I entered for free
Archery demonstration...
Prisoner
I didn't tried this one, I'm affraid of heights...

Inside, they have a Madame Tussauds wax figures collection, describing the life in the castle:
Skanderberg competitions
The washing machine
Medieval Industry
Medieval Bike
Henry VIII...
And his 5 wives
The Queen
The dining room
The weapons room
medieval hats
Scary, huh?
