Mercredi 21 Janvier : Stratford-Upon-Aven

• Mercredi 21 Janvier  
• 6h45 : The sweet alarme of Anaïs's mobile phone ( with " Louise Attack " ) woke us ... euh ... woke me Julie and Alizia because Anaïs was sleeping and sooring ! We tried to turned up this infernal machine, but it continued all the time !!! After we cried some bird's insults to Anaïs ( « Hey, the owl, WAKE UP ! » ), she finally opened her eyes and put her mobile phone off .... ouf ... =)
• We went to the kitchen where Lynda had made a very big breakfast ! On the table, there was a long, long, cereal's box row ... Choco pops, chocapics, miel pops ... we knew some of them, we ate the same in France. But Anaïs had an adventurous spirit ! Yes, she wanted to taste english's cereal ... very dangerous ... The result ? Her cereals looked like sponges, swimming in a milk's glossy bowl.  It wasn't really a pleasure, her adventuroux spirit left her and she ate traditional's international cereal : choco pops. So, it was a breakfast not really english, but it was good with parrot's chirping ! x)
• At 8 a clock, we took our picnic and we went out, with Lynda. Our first day's walking : going to the bus ! We walked a quarter in the mist, on the deadly slop ( because of the ice, on the floor ! ). After, we arrived to the bus and met all our friends to say hello, to chat about our families, sometimes strange, about the food ... Manon said that they had a special rule in their family « They can't take a shower all of them at the same time » ... Okkk ...
• Madam Piloz decided to give us a quizz ... looks like " Question for a champion " ! =D ! We had to find the equivalent in French from English expressions. Marion round all expressions the first, and she will have a cake. After a time, we arrived to Stratford-Upon-Aven. At first, we touched the statue's belly to become lucky.

Then, Edwin tried to dredge a swan, insensitive to his british charme.

• We walked in front of a little and charming harbour. In and on ( because of the ice ! ) the water, there were some ducks, and swans ( and the Edwin's swan ... a very beautiful love story betwen them ! <3 ).

• And we saw the theatre, Upon's river, statues ... then we walked in a big and beautiful garden ( you can see some pictures on the beginning of this article ). We saw som quirrel, and I took a picture ! We payed 50 pens to see the Shakespeare's tomb ( ... just a rock with a poem written by him before he died ).

• Then, we ate in front of such a big statue ( Anaïs, Edwin, Alizia, Manon, Mario, Alexia, Loïc and me ! ).
• 
• After, we visited Shakespeare's native house, and we walked during a long time to go to his daughter's house. The guide explained some old costums about an chicken, or women ... Edwin tried to fight with Geoffrey, but Geof' won ! We returned to the bus, and during the walking time, I speack a lot about horses with Mrs Duchamps ...

• Tonight, we watched an strange documentary about elephants on the TV ...
