Good restaurants, a choice of hotels, the Great Park or Long Walk for those that need exercise, plus the castle if time permits a little sightseeing. (The Professor used to go to Prep School in Windsor and can attest to this).<BR/><BR/>Windsor Cars (01753 677677) will pick up from any of the terminals for £15 one-way; I use them 2 or 3 times a month, great service Professor Tony is happy to recommend. Typically they'll even call your mobile just as they are arriving at the airport. <BR/><BR/>So good tips here.Professor Sabenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836115173131048934noreply@blogger.com
