Today we had homemade hot breakfast cooked for us by the hotel owner. Then we walked to the train station and took a train to Ludlow Castle. I gave a tour of this castle, my first tour! The castle was in ruins, and of us were scared by all the pigeons that now seem to inhabit the castle and its starwells. I'm sure you will hear stories. We had a lot of extra time before the next bus came to pick us up, so we went to our first English traditional tea house. Many of us had some really good desserts, like chocolate sponge cake and caramel shortbread.
Next we came back to Shrewsbury via train and headed to Attingham Park. This was the estate and mansion house of the Lord and Lady Berwick built in 1785. Many of the rooms were furnished with the original decorations and furniture. It gave us an idea of how really wealthy people lived.
Tonight, we have to pack up our bags and get ready to head to our final destination tomorrow, Bath. This includes a 5 hour train ride to Bath with a stop at Hereford Cathedral where Dana will give us a tour.
It has been quite a few days in a row now without rain, thankfully!
