Welcome to the land of all things Shakespeare aka Stratford upon Avon. We visited, Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway's, cottage. My favorite part? The gardens. They were stunning. We walked, wandered, strolled through and saw beautiful flowers, trees and butterflies. It felt like a beautiful summer day. And I guess, that's because it was! We then made our way to the birthplace of Shakespeare. I surprisingly, really enjoyed myself there. They had two actors that would act out scenes from Shakespeare's plays. You could name of anyone and they would know it by heart and start performing it. They did bits from Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, The Tame and The Shrew, Midsummer's Night Dream, Richard the III and others. It was a lot of fun to watch. They also had a little station for people to paint their own Coat of Arms. Okay, maybe it was meant for children but I went for it anyways. It was fun to paint in the sun.
to end the night in a very Shakespeare way we went to see Twelfth Night. This was fantastic. It was set in a modern time but they still used the original script. They were so clever with the set and everything. All in all, it is hilarious. I was laughing the whole time. And I was able to follow the story (thank you She's the Man.) It was really well done.
I told you Oxford was like Hogwarts. We had breakfast in the Great Hall.
