…and another place to visit if you’re into visiting special places, e.g., the place where Shakespeare wrote his books. Or maybe not… Historians don’t know anything about this gentleman but his date of birth and death. All the rest is pure speculation and theories came from an alien planet. Meaning: no history lessons this time 
Speculate!
Either way, let’s just pretend that the pictures below are in fact the place where he was born and where he lived… 
To tell the truth, I’m neither a Shakespeare nor a Camões fan. But as I usually say, still interesting though! 
Stratford-upon-Avon is my ultimate favourite city in England The river makes it beautiful and besides that the old buildings makes it magical. Oh, and the ice cream and hand made chocolate shops look reallyyyy great
Me, G. and H. had a great time there (although i got a horrifying cold) eating chocolates Not very good for your belly…
Enjoy!
P.S – Oh, and inside Holy Trinity Church you can find Shakespeare grave…although I’m not sure if its just the grave of someone called Shakespeare or if it is the grave of the poet who wrote Romeo and Juliet. Whatever… lol
Pictures (from top to bottom): Shakespeare birthplace (you have to pay £9 to get in…what a nonsense); Shakespeare grave (£3, another nonsense); the river Avon and G. and H. See more

definitly my favorite place so far! It is actually really nice, small, cozy and has the most magical christmas shop I’ve ever seen. Really really nice indeed.
I hope I’ll go back maybe with that company…

HA! I was just there recently and its funny because I recognize the all the photos
Stratford really is a neat town. After I visited the church, there was a high school (i believe) theater company that did there own version of romeo and juliet. It was really cool. On a side note theres this site that I came across that I think you would like a lot, its called baraaza.com <- LINK ) Its cool site for content like this, so check it out
