Tours!

We were pretty excited to hear from our friends today. They have secured our tickets for Evita at the Open Air Theater and Highclere Castle. WOW! I'm most excited about Evita and John is most excited about Highclere Castle (Think Downton Abby).

Detailed Plan of a Typical Narrow Boat

Certainly “cozy” but let’s face it, we love our little Casita. Besides there are outside spaces and one can take extra days to do their chosen trip as well.  For instance, you could take what would normally be a one week trip and stretch it into two weeks to further enjoy towns, Pubs, and the countryside along the way! The possibilities are endless!

Day 21

Today is Highclere Castle Day!!! Our friends are taking good care of us and are taking us out of town to Highclere Castle today. They booked the tickets last March when they knew we were coming and wanted to go there. Like typical locals, they had not been out there yet, even though they are Downton Abbey fans.I would say it took 1.5 hours travel time to get there but I am not really sure as I didn't look at the time closely.

They do have a certain number of tickets ready for drop ins, but that is iffy and you might not get in. We just beat the rain. Thankfully, we did the Outdoor Terrace when first arriving. As we went on the the inside areas it began to rain. They Outdoor Terrace was then closed, not even an option to go out there. That said, we had tremendous views before the rain began. Best views in the city. I thought the view was good from the London Eye, but this far surpassed that. George was great in pointing out various things and we even managed to see what we believe was our Tower Hill hotel.  Best View of the Shard Ever! ...
