The Globe


Our final pedometer count for yesterday was 12.44 km...and my legs and feet and back confirm it!! Thank goodness today is spent driving!!
The Globe was a real experience - certainly not Stratford!! We were "herded" into the yard and an actor came out to provide an opportunity for some heckling!! The play was much bawdier than I recall with lots of interludes (musical and comedic) for the peasants!! The open air was wonderful but I kept getting jolted back to the present when a plane flew overhead!! Characters came through the yard and several times walked right past us - that was cool!! One "woman" in period costume kept wandering by - and "she" winked at me?"!!!
A wonderful walk across the Millenium Bridge with lovely views of St. Pauls and the Thames. We all slept well!
