Next Day, we took the train up to Stratford-Upon-Avon to see the birthplace of Shakespeare
In the trainOnce we reached the station, we needed to walk to town center to meet the tour guide at some swan fountain
May very fascinated with the flowers. I'm sure Mummy would too!
When we saw this sign, we knew we were at the right place!
Metal swan fountain
The tour was really good. It was a walk around the whole town while describing the history of Shakespeare and his family. Only 5 pounds! So off we go!
Spotted a swan! 
Shakespeare birthplace and his kids. Poor fella, forced to get married so young!
We didn't go in :(
The town was busy with tourist 
Stores which has been here since the time of ShakespeareCan you spot which is fake and real?
HSBC
According to tour guide, during summer, they will have mock Shakespeare play here
The church where he was buried
Walk along these path-
Into the church-
-and to his grave. See his curse?The story is, he was worried that his body will be dug up from his grave. Because last time they recycle graves, by digging up the grave and the body was cremated or something. So he cursed the grave by saying if anyone dug him up, they would be cursed!
Nice eh
Mushrooms growing ouside the church. Geli!
Later we walked back to town and the guide pointed out Shakespeare's school. Until now, it's still an active school O.O!
After the tour ended, it's time for Lunch!
