July 31 and August 2, 2004 Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon

This was our trip to Warwick and Stratford. It was so crowded that we opted to return Monday, August 2, 2004. This turned out to be a wise decision. We started at Warwick, in particular, Warwick Castle. This was a spectacular palace. The interiors were renovated properly to the times and excellent was figures that looked remarkably real. The cost to enter was a bit steep, or so we thought. At 15 pounds each..times 1.85 U.S. dollars we thought way to expensive. We had always thought of castles being cold and drafty...wrong assumption. We did manage a few nice pictures, and left around mid day for Stratford...William Shakespere's birthplace.
Stratford was way too commercialized and extremely overly crowded as well. We took a photo op in front of the birthplace and decided to head back to our little sanctuary in the country.

Here is a link to the photo album for the pictures we took today..Hope you enjoy them..
