Stratford: October 23rd
Steph left before at 6:00AM for her drive to Gatwick. Elsa came down to the dining room to choke down some porridge. We'd decided she would definitely stay in bed if she hoped to even think about seeing Hamlet the next day. Aside from going out for food, I mostly stayed in too which was just as well since we'd had no rest days since we arrived ( Read more... ) -

Stratford: Days 2-3
When I last left off, Steph was due to arrive, and she did, thanks to her friendly GPS. We explored a bit more of town centre and lunched at a cornish pasty shop.
