Boating Holiday In River Thames

I was once invited by a long time friend to join the boating festival in Thames. I thought he was kidding when he mentioned Thames. I told him that the river is too noble to be treated as venue for boat festival. But, I was wrong; Thames has been annually prepared for the holiday.

With its rich history, the river Thames is just perfect for boating holidays. Sailing along this mystic river allows one to see the some of the famous castles of England. Although sometimes, when high tide occurs, Thames could be very dangerous to sailors. Anyhow, if there is really no chance at all to sail, then one can stay to the many restaurants along the river side.

Going back to the boat holiday, I agreed to sail only to be given a British history lesson. I was introduced to the Hampton palace where, according to the boat captain, King Henry used to live. Next stop was the Windsor palace. Finally, we came to Oxford. The whole of the holiday trip is a peaceful one. It was like cruising in equally beautiful French rivers. I have never sailed before, but this one experience impressed me a lot.
