What a sad sad day today is. I truly cannot believe our time in London has come to an end. This trip has been such a highlight in my life for me and I will always cherish all the memories, inside jokes, and laughs.
We wrapped up our time in London on Friday and headed over to Stratford-Upon-Avon on Saturday which was such a quaint little town. It was totally different from London and definitely provided us with a chance to slow down and enjoy the end of the trip. Stratford is home to quite literally everything Shakespeare, so we got to tour his birthplace, new place, and Anne Hathaway’s cottage.
Each tour was so interesting and each building was well reserved, you can truly tell this town thrives from being Shakespeare’s home and they love to uphold their status.
Not only being historically interesting, the town was absolutely gorgeous. Flowers, colored buildings, rivers, and GIANT swans were everywhere, truly giving the town such a sweet charm.
I’ve always studied Shakespeare so getting to see The Tempest at The RSC was also such a cool experience. The show was incredibly intimate and filled with so much talent (definitely worth skipping dessert) I would love to see more here in the future!
Even though I did enjoy our time in Stratford, I don’t think it was comparable to our time spent in London. For me London has just been so memorable, this entire city reminds me now of all the fun memories I’ve created over the past month. From O2 to a noise complaint (sorry Shawn), adopting biscuit cake, dark maga, tiktok dancing, and Shawn truly not gaffing, this trip has truly been one of the best months of my life. I want to thank every single person for making this trip so fun and absolutely perfect.
I’ll end off my very last Theatre in London blog post with one of my favorite quotes: how lucky are we to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard?
Cheers to a month of a lifetime! I love you all so much and already miss my ohana ❤️
