[England 2014] Stratford-Upon-Avon

[moonvoice]

Also known as Shakespeare's birthplace!
We were only here for a night,
and alas, I didn't get too many photos.
Also no one can agree on where Shakespeare was actually born.
But anyway, it's definitely a place steeped in history, and it was pretty incredible
eating at a pub that had been open since 1470-ish.
Because let me tell you,
we have nothing like that here in Australia.
Permanent residences didn't exist until settlement.


But first, nothing to do with Shakespeare!






































I found the little details in the brickwork personally fascinating.





Houseboats!





This was in that pub that I mentioned above.





Eggs and gammon and salad and chips for dinner. The serving sizes were BEYOND huge. Like, holy crap. I'm surprised they couldn't just float me home like a beachball after the pub serving sizes in England. They were beyond belief. I couldn't finish a meal anywhere. And I'd be amazed at those who could. I thought Perth pub sizes were big. Holy shit.



Sorry there aren't more photos. I was too busy enjoying myself!
