Stratford
is a beautiful and tranquil little town. When we stroll the town, we have
lunch. Since we planned to arrive at the Blue Mountains before dark, we stayed
for a few hours at Stratford. If you go to the Shakespeare Festival, I think
you at least stay in that night, you can go to see a few Shakespeare plays.
