Castle life
Welcome to the castle! I spent the first week in England living here with all the rest of the Fulbright scholars and graduate students. What a place, what a crowd. This castle is part of Durham University and normally students live here during the term.
Durham Castle
When you live in a castle, where do you go for breakfast? Why, to the great hall of course!
Full English breakfast served here. Yummm.
And where do you find the best wifi signal? In the undercroft (below the great hall) ~ note the Romaneque arches, built by the Normans; also supposedly the oldest public place in England continuously serving alcohol. Although there may be some controversy about that claim. This was a great place to go at the end of the day and catch up with email and Skype with family or chat with new friends before climbing the tower to bed.
