Stratford upon Avon, Bath, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle!

Stratford upon avon.
We got to Stratford at about 4 30. It was this quiet pretty town that seemed so relaxed. We were going to see 12th at 7 15 so we had some time to wander around and eat dinner. After finding out that Stratford is an adorable city and walking past all the shops and buildings we ate then headed to the theater. We went ro the royal Shakespeare company and they did an amaing job! The play was long but really great! They had a pool in te corner of the stage because there are some parts involving water. After that we went back to the hotel and had a discussion with the actor who played sebastian. He was really cute and also really interesting to talk to. The theter class did that and we were askin alot of questions. At that point it was really late so we went to sleep.

Friday morning we had a tour of Stratford by this actor/writer/comedian guy and he was amaing! He was so smart! He took us to anne hathaways cottage, the church, and Shakespeare's Birth place, stopping along the way for information. From there we had lunch and a milk shake and then headed to bath!
We got here at about 5 and just walked around looking for food but also saw the city. We wandered for about an hour and eventually found a place that we wanted ro eat at and we had an adorable sit down 3 course dinner with some wine and then some complementary drinks at the end for 15 pounds? Was great! From there we went to this place called the mole which was a bar/music venue and there was live music which was cool!!

Saturday we woke up and did a walking your of bath. Our guide focused on alot about houses and the history of houses there which was really interesting. It was an amazing day, so warm! We went to the abbey and then we had a tour of the roman bath. The roman baths were cool because there was a museaum inside which was all the ruins. After that we went shopping and walking around some. Bath has amazing boutique shops! Bath is also known for ita thermae spa. This is a bath with natural water in spa form. We got the 2 hour spa treatment which included a steam room, 2 baths and a roof top bath. I have never been to the spa so I did not know what to expect but it was really relaxing! The steam room had 4 different rooms in it that all had different scented steams in it! It was difficult to sit in for a while. We went back and forth between the things. The roof top bath was amazing because you could see the entire city while in the bath! It was around 6 so we saw the sun setting while we were in it! It was an amazing experience! I felt so pampered. From there we went to dinner, it was our last dinner with our weekend trips. We went to an Italian place and it was really nice!

Sunday, we woke up and drove to Stonehenge! After a guided tour and a ton of pictures we went to Windsor Castle. It was amazing and huge. The queen was in the castle because the flag was up! We saw the doll house of queen Mary. It was a huge doll house and it has runnin water in it! Was te most amazing doll house ever.
From Windsor castle we headed back to London, got back at 6 30.
This was an amazing weekend! Every part was amazing! Bath was my favorite place we went to, such a cute city!
