Just a quick post card following my flying visit there to see The Magicians Elephant at the Royal Shakespeare Company ( RSC) Theatre.
(As an aside we drove through several Cotswold villages on the way there – no photos but I will go back and post some as it is such a lovely (albeit touristy part of England)
A few pics taken as we wandered around. I only had my phone with me so just some, not so great, phone snaps.
Stratford – Upon Avon – long associated with Shakespeare – known as his birthplace and as such has generated a considerable tourist footprint. So may historic buildings;

The rendering belies the age of the building

Presumably catering for American tourists?

Modern, but traffic free, passage ways; lots of places to eat chain restaurant food

£ 3.500 for a photo of Abba anyone?

After a Thai meal, which was very good indeed, we set off to the? monstrosity that is the RSC theatre

It certainly is inside – the acoustics are quite phenomenal - anyway will end this with some interior pics and some related to the show we saw.

Signing off with a final photo of us masked to the hilt ... be assured, despite the pic; we were enjoying the whole experience
