Ah, travel. After so many weeks in lockdown I feel like I've forgotten what that's like. I haven't gone further than the supermarket lately, and my holiday was of course cancelled. So where was the last place I travelled to?
Stratford-upon-Avon.
It's one of my ambitions to see every Shakespeare play in the theatre at least once, and where would be better than the Royal Shakespeare Theatre? So I drove four and a half hours (I can see Americans laughing at my thinking that that's a long way) to Stratford-upon-Avon to see King John.
It was an amazing play, despite being seated next to a man who put his legs in two different counties, and Stratford is a beautiful town. I got there early so had plenty of time to look around and relax in the park.
So where was the last place you travelled to?
How lovely. :)

Thanks, it's a beautiful place.
DeleteThat sounds amazing... and a lovely memory. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm here: http://www.mariannearkins.com/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-the-last-place-i-traveled-to-and-why/
I'll definitely be back once things are safe.
DeleteI would love that! I'm a not-so-closeted Anglophile and this is definitely something I would love to do! My post is here if you want to stop by.
ReplyDeleteIt's well worth it.
DeleteThat's a long drive, no matter where you are. :-) But if it's to see something you love, then it's worth it. I'm glad you've been there. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was. I'll do it again as soon as I can.
DeleteWhat a lovely experience, thanks for sharing! I so want to go back to Stratford-upon-Avon and see a play. Last time I was there, there was a massive flood and the hotel had to wake up all the guests because the car park flooded!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never stayed overnight there, though I did have plans to before it all went wrong.
DeleteIf I could see a play in Stratford I'd feel as if I died and gone to heaven. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/06/wc-063020.html
ReplyDeleteIt's a great experience.
DeleteDepends on where in the US you are. On the west coast, 4 hours is nothing! LOL But that's an awesome trip for sure! They have a Shakespearean festival in Utah every year and I've always wanted to visit. Might have to try that next year if they're back to doing it.

That sounds perfect for me.
DeleteThis American is not laughing. I'd drive there (no matter the hours) to see any play there! What a beautiful memory and picture. I've visited Stratford-upon-Avon once--a treasured time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place.
DeleteNot laughing. Sounds like the drive was well worth it and what a fun memory and wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing. Here's mine. https://www.tenastetler.com/wednesdays-blog-challenge-last-place-i-traveled-to-why/
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was.
DeleteI love your plan to see all the plays! What a fantastic trip, and sounds like you had a great time. Hope we all get to do more traveling soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm going stir crazy here.
DeleteWhat a brilliant experience, Tanith. How lovely you go to experience it.
ReplyDeleteI never made it to Stratford-upon-Avon on our UK travels but would very much like to go once day.
It's a beautiful town and quite small, so you can cover a lot of ground.
