Alnwick Castle

 
 
 
 


Before leaving Jakarta, we binged on Harry Potter movies in preparation for our trip to England.  We watched all 7+1 movies in about 10 days so that we would be able to be proper tourists. (The enthusiasm for Platform 9¾ at Kings Cross Station was good first test. We passed.)  So, going to Alnwick Castle, where Harry had his first flying lesson, was super exciting!  It's a beautiful castle, still inhabited by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, with much of it open to the public.  We had a great day visiting.
 
We started with the Dragon's Quest.. 
 


Having slayed the dragon, went on the Knight's Quest.





 
Once we completed our weapons training and other physical challenges, we did the mandatory hill roll race.

And then Eben shot some things out of the meurtriere.  That was the castle... there was much left to do on the grounds...
