The time I went to the Warwick Castle

23 April 2011

We left the Clarksons early in the day and we went to Warwick Castle. We got there in the nick of time and were the first in!

Cosmic and I were the first to do knights training and Zillyan was the first to do archery. I could not do archery because my broken arm would not let me ('You can't do archery' said my broken arm).

I climbed 530 stairs to get to the top of two towers - overall I climbed 1060 stairs. I was very tired after.

Then we went into the dungeons. Cosmic did not come because he was too scared. The cells you were put in were very little.

We got to see sword fighting. It was very cool.

We saw inside the castle. We met George Greville who owned the castle in the eighteenth century and saw lots of rooms and pictures. We also saw Queen Elizabeth the first and Queen Victoria who asked me how I broke my arm. I said 'on the monkey bars' and she said 'What are they'. I explained to her they are like two trees and some bars. She was very impressed.

We also went into the Merlin Tower. We saw Gaius' lab and the dragon. The dragon said to Zillyan her destiny is to use her magic for evil. I think the dragon is right.

In the queue for Merlin's Tower we met Henry VIII. He tried to kill Daddy to marry Mum.

We saw tents with people in them from the olden days and we saw them playing a game called foxes and rabbits which was like chess.

In the mini shop they were selling real helmets and swords.

We saw the trebuchet being fired and we saw people pulling out the sword in the stone. When I tried to do this I got my foot stuck in it and everyone had to try and pull me out.
