Fortunately we were only in that maze of a hotel for one night. We checked out of the hotel in the morning and went on a tour of Shakespeare’s birthplace near our hotel. We saw things like the school he attended when he was younger, the church he was buried in, and of course the […]

Day 6: We’ll Never Be Royals
Unfortunately we had to leave London this morning. Although I was sad to go, I was excited to see more of the United Kingdom and also hopeful that the next place we visited had less sirens. I ate some hotel breakfast and got on the bus to Windsor. Today was the day to visit the […]
Day Six: Stratford-Upon-Avon.
I spent the previous night dying from, what I assume (or am just writing it off as because I cannot recall a time that I felt so crappy) was hayfever. I thought my allergies were bad back in the States. No amount of medication could have prepared me for the hell I suffered throughout the […]
Day Five: Windsor Castle
I left a small piece of my heart in London and the class departed for Windsor. The town is small and regal-looking, the type of aesthetic one would expect from a quaint little town in England. Picturesque, with cobblestone roads and beautiful scenery. It had a much different vibe than London did. Windsor Castle, the […]
Day 6: Shakespeare – The Man or the Myth?
Oh the beauty of Stratford-upon-Avon. I wish I had more than just an afternoon to explore this small town and do as much sight seeing as possible. It felt similar to Windsor in the fact that it is much smaller than London and has a lot more land and nature to take in. Of course, […]
Day 6: Shakespeare & Stratford
After getting breakfast at our hotel, our group started the morning off with a guided tour of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Our guide was very insightful and full of Shakespeare knowledge. She took us around Stratford-Upon-Avon, walking through parks, a cemetery, church, and up and down the main streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon. […]
Day Six: I meet William Shakesbear
Today’s trip was interesting and exhausting. We woke up in Stratford-upon-Avon and began a guided walking tour of the town. During this we learned a lot about Shakespeare and his life there. This being said, it is interesting to note that a lot about Shakespeare is unknown. People often speculate about his life and what […]
Stratford-Upon-Avon: At World’s End
After some much-needed shut-eye, I was ready for the day ahead of us. After breakfast, we departed on our walking tour around Stratford-Upon-Avon, also known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is widely regarded as one of the best writers in the English writers, for his world famous poems and plays. Stratford is […]
Day 5: Off to See The Queen
We left our hotel in London early this morning and took an hour and a half coach ride to Windsor. Luckily I was able to sleep a little bit on the bus so I was ready to tour Windsor Castle! We had a tour guide lead us through a shopping center in Windsor, just outside […]
Day Five: Now Playing “On the Road Again”
Today’s journey began bright and early. We loaded up our luggage and got on the bus to leave London. It was bittersweet because I loved the city but was also excited to begin to see the English countryside. The bus ride took us out to Windsor Castle. Walking out of the bus and into the […]
