There’s a guided tour for 10 px each time. She reminded us that ca-me-ras were not allowed inside, once the tour has started.
She locked every room we entered. She would explain a little bit about the story behind that room, then give us a few minutes to look, but no photos.
The minute we entered the dining room, I took this photo.
You cannot let OMB enter a royal dining room with beautiful plates without letting her take a photo! The plates were to die for, ahhhhhh!
I asked her if those were original plates used by the royals, the answer was yes indeed. I asked who made them— if they still existed.
The table was as big as our living room.
Dungeon-like passageways.
We climbed 72 steps to get to the seating room or private sala of the Bowes-Lyon.
They liked to decorate with heads of animals they hunted.
Big private chapel.

I chose the last row to sit down. Yun pala dun daw laging lumalabas yung multo. Ang galing ko namang pumili. Nakilabutan ako, natakot actually.
There’s a big billiard table in the middle of this large library room.
Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, now Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, when she was 23 years old.
There’s a China room, with 500 year old plates.
Bohemia
The room of Queen Elizabeth’s mother. It’s a double, parang ang liit. To think that she produced 10 babies here. Baka kaya dumami anak kasi konting galaw lang untugan na sa liit nung kama. Liitan ko nga kama namin sa master’s bedroom, sobrang laki, kahit anung gulong ko, hindi ako mauntog kay Mister Yee.
Brother Patrick’s bedroom.
This is Fred. A baby bear was given by the Spanish Ambassador as a gift. Fred was their pet, but when he became bigger, he wandered off into the woods and was killed when he attacked one of the guards.
Part 3 coming soon.
