On the Road to Durham - Warwick Castle
We awoke early Monday morning with our bags packed and said goodbye to our fabulous hosts at Hafan y Coed - an experience that will forever be in our memories and our hearts. We boarded the Durham City Coach (DCC...hmmm interesting name isn't it?) and began the next leg of our journey to Durham!
Before we landed in Durham we stopped and visited Warwick Castle. The number of amazing historical sites in this country is astounding. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to see and do everything there. The group split up so that everyone could concentrate on the areas that interested them most. Some climbed the towers, some toured the castle which included historical wax figures created by none other than Madame Tussaud's, others went on the ghost tour, visited the dungeon and much, much more. I'm sure that the kids will have much to tell you about Warwick Castle.
We boarded our DCC Coach and finally made our way to our Sister City at 7:00 p.m. We were warmly met by our host families and whisked away to their homes throughout Durham. It was a bit strange to be separated from everyone and yet exciting to begin this part of our adventure.
