Stratford-Upon-Patea

It's a small town, at the end of the Forgotten World Highway, and gateway to New Zealand's biggest volcano, Mt. Taranaki, on the west coast. But it's more than that: it's New Zealand's homage to The Bard, with a carillon sort of thing that performs at 10AM and 3PM and with streets named after characters from the plays. We did a video of the carillon thing, on main street, with logging trucks and stock trucks whizzing by, but I won't be able to post it to YouTube for a while. Check back often. Of course all this is of super special significance, since grand-daughter Penelope was born on April 23rd and knows very well who Mr. Shakespeare was. Update: the video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qIKFqffYdg.

He would be so proud

Thus

The clock tower/carillon/glockenspiel/whatever; various doors
open and various wooden mannequins, in costume, recite
various scenes; a hoot

Most campground offices are quite bland and franchise-looking; but not Stratford's,
which sports the most extensive collection of tea pots and chamber pots we have
yet seen
