Day 9 and 10

Hey everyone...

Today I'd like to say something first in honour of Kristof, with whom I've been to camp for many years. He died this Sunday, on the 15th of February. Since I stopped going to that camp, I hadn't any contact with him nor with lots of other people from that camp but that doesn't mean that I'm not shocked by his death. Kristof was a really nice guy, who was always laughing. He really was and still is an inspiration because even though his handicap he could still see the joy of life. Even though he's gone, I know that he's not forgotten and that he's now one of the brightest stars in heaven.

After this is said, I still have to tell you guys about everything that I've done the past two days. Yesterday we went to Stratford upon Avon, which is a nice little town. I really felt happy to see the birthplace of William Shakespeare. We also went into a museum about Witchcraft and Wizardry which was next to the birthhouse of William Shakespeare. Timmy, Natalia and I went in there and I really enjoyed it. Especially because there was an Harry Potter room in it! Natalia was really funny though. She was really scared because it was so dark in here. By being scared she behaved also really cute.

We also went to see the grave of William Shakespeare. I was quite disappointed because I had imagined something huge, and all there was was a stone. But I really wanted to come and have a look because after all he was one of the most gifted poets and playwriters.

In the evening Sophie and her parents came eating and we really had a delicious meal and a great laugh.

Today we went to see Warwick Castle which was brilliant. I really liked the castle with the puppets and the interactive things you could do. It was kind of funny because we had to climb really high because we had to go to the top tower. And Evi, Tanja and I walked together... It was like one afraid of falling, one with claustrofobia and one afraid of heights in one small group. But the view was all worth it! We also saw a fireball being shot which was really great.

Tonight will be a more silent night because everyone is really tired.

Love,

Anneke
