The Cotswold

Took a tour today to Blenheim Palace and the Cotswold. The Palace was unbelievable, great display, the east wing is still lived in my the Duke of Marlborough. It is a huge place with the Palace and grounds. This was the birth place of Winston Churchill. The grounds and Palace were worth the visit. Lunch at the Duke of Marlborough Pub. Then to Burford, Burton on the Water and Stow on the Wold. Three villages, they were all similar, but different, very pretty situated on the river and typical English villages. Enjoyed the scenery and the quaint little shops. We started the day by sitting on the motorway for a hour due to a wreck, it did rain, but most of the rain was while on the bus, the sun came out when we got to the villages. It was nice it co-operated with our schedule.
