Mamiko and I came to Stratford-upon-Avon by coach.
First, we went to Tourist Information to find an economy B&B. But, surprisingly and disappointed, we were told that all B&B were no vacancy tonight but a hotel near it might have a room. Yet, hotel is expensive as you know.
We decided to find a room by ourselves and checked our guidebook.

Then we've made it. It is Dukes Hotel. Our room is a suite, which has a queen size bed, and furniture are antique style.
The price is doubled of we planned, however, we are completely satisfied.

Fantastic room in Dukes Hotel

Then, we bought tickets of "Hamlet" at a box office of Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Next, Shakespeare's Birthplace. It was 16century style house, not gorgeous, but lovely.

And, Teddy Bear Museum. It was Mamiko's dream to come here.
About ten years ago, I visited this museum and bought a Teddy bear named Henry the Eighth No.87 for Mamiko.
No.1 of the Henry the Eighth is still displayed in this museum.

Happy Mamiko with Teddy bears

Then, we were hungry, so had a cream tea. It is much cheaper, compared with prices in London.

And finally, we went to the theatre for "Hamlet". This play was arranged in modern style.
Actually, this is the third time to see Shakespeare for me, and every time I regret I should have read a book.
As the play went on, the story became complex.
The last third act, I couldn't tell who was Hamlet. Oh, my god!!!
