This saturday we decided to visit Stratford-upon-Avon for a day and became one of the hordes flocking to see buildings connected to William Shakespeare or his descendants. We started quite late in the morning and reached there around lunch time.It is a small place with a very nice high street and almost all attractions are in and around the high street.
First we saw the Shakespeare 's Birthplace which was entirely reconstructed in the 19th century but in the original Tudor style.
We also saw the Harvard House, home of John Harvard of Harvard University.
Also the Town Hall built in 1767, traces of 18th century graffiti on the front of the building saying "God Save the King".
We had a sumptuous lunch at Cafe Pasta of Buttery Gorgonzola and spinach gnocchi with cream, white wine, red onion and toasted pine nuts and A had ricotta and spinach ravioli with a homemade spicy roasted plum tomato sauce.
Thankfully we didn't face any big traffic jam and the whole drive went smoothly. Unfortunately after my very bad experience of the horrible traffic jam two weeks ago - i still get jittery of going anywhere by car
