Hey Guys!
I am trying desperately to update this thing, but with web outages, late returns and early starts, and other limitations, I am having a difficult time doing a day-to-day update. I will try to summarize the last couple of days...
After Wicked, we spent the next day going to Stonehenge and Bath, followed by dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe in London. It was amazing! The kids loved Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site...it is so austere and beautiful, it is hard to describe. Bath was great, too - after touring the Roman Baths, we toured and ate fish and chips at a traditional English Pub. The Hard Rock was wonderful - we even got to tour the vault of their instrument collection and see some of the most valuable instruments in their collection (Jimi's Flying V, anyone??).
Yesterday we managed to get to Oxford to see Oxford University, and we got to see the dining hall where the Harry Potter movies were filmed! We also got to tour the town and see sites like The Bridge of Sighs, The Bodleian Library, The Radcliffe Camera, and my favorite, Ben's Cookies (a local treat). After that, we drove to Stratford and saw the birthplace of William Shakespeare, in addition to the home of Anne Hathaway, his wife. It was fantastic, and so was the opportunity to shop a little bit afterwards.
Today we traveled to York, a beautiful town in northern England. After some coach problems in the morning (we had to swap after a breakdown - no worries), we got to one of the most beautiful and historic villages in the whole of England, York. With a bustling market, a historic minster, a number of shopping precincts, and great weather, it was the ideal situation to take in the English lifestyle.
Tomorrow we are off to see Hadrian's Wall, then moving on to Edinburgh, Scotland...very excited!
Hope all is well back home.
