Day 51 - Cotswolds (England) - English Road Trip

SHAKING IT WITH SHAKESPEARE. We joined Dylan, Justine, Farnsy and Anita in a weekend road trip through the Cotswolds. It's about 2 or 3 hours from London and is all about rolling hills, sheep and castles. First stop was Stratford upon Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare and in the top 10 of 'quaint English towns'. The naked guys in the park lighting firecrackers in their bottoms was an interesting touch as well. Then because we are in England we had to go to a castle... so we went to the 'Walt Disney' of castles... Warwick Castle! It is very well maintained and fun to go through with heaps for the kids. Rounded out the day with dinner in Oxford! Didn't ride our bicycles but did find a nice pub which has banned smoking (very progressive).
LESSON FOR THE DAY: If you do the tower ghost tour (developed by the Madame Tussauds group) make sure you go in front for the full 'scarey' effect.
