Oxford & Stratford-Upon-Avon, England


In the morning we all hopped on the bus and left for a little outer London tour.  The first place we went to was Stonehenge. It was so amazing to be able to visit one of the 7 Wonder of the World.  I was so excited to see Stonehenge. It is a beautiful place to see and learn more about it.  

Once we left Stonehenge we stopped by Oxford. So naturally I had to buy an Oxford crew neck sweatshirt. After this purchase, I wore it all the time in Iceland. It was such a great shopping decision.  

After Oxford, we went to a business visit at the Conventry Cathedral.  It was an awesome experience because we were able to learn about how they use this venue as both a religious and commercial venue.  I loved being able to walk around the cathedral and look at all the interesting old architecture.  

Once we were done at the cathedral, we arrived at where we were staying for the night.  It was the cutest little bed and breakfasts in Stratford-Upon-Avon.  The name of this bed and breakfast was Ambleside.  Peter and Ruth, the owners of this bed and breakfast, were the sweetest couple ever and went way out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

The next day we went to Warwick Castle. This was an interesting experience, because I felt that it was more aimed towards a younger age group. But nonetheless, it was still so much fun to explore the castle! And then after we were done being adventurous, Carly, Rachel, and I found a nice little patch of grass that was perfect to take a nap on. Seriously, naps are amazing. Especially when you are just constantly on the go, it is nice to just relax for a bit. I absolutely loved how quaint Stratford-Upon-Avon was, I would definitely go back just to stay at the bed and breakfast and visit Peter and Ruth again!
