What a day - we were up pretty early to get the tour bus from Victoria Station - our destination was Stone Henge and Bath... first stop was the Stone Henge Inn - where we had a tradition English Roast - it was delicious - however, not as good as Mum's !! Onto Stone Henge and as you'll see from the photos it is absolutely HUGE! the day was a bit overcast so the feeling around the stones was quite mysterious - it truly is an amazing site - we joined around 1000 other tourist to stare at these boulders - some weigh up to 7 tonne, which makes it extrordinary to think that they were moved there by humans - without the aid of a crane! There are many theories to why these stones are here - but i'm sure they were place here by giants! hahahaha!
Back on the tour bus and on to Bath - another amazing place... first we went to the Roman Bath museum which is hot... and fabulous, but not as fabulous as the sites around Bath - really you could spend so much time just looking at all of the old buildings - every building is made from sandstone and the roads are all cobbled - its a heritage listed city so any new buildings have to be designed with the same historic style as the buildings from centuries ago! We had a good look around the city- and unlike Amsterdam,Berlin and London city there were hills... first the heart rate has been up for a while [although, those stairs in amsterdam were a bit rough!] Every little bit is spectacular - there are many tourists here at the moment - all of the accents are incredible and add to this the English have just started there 6 week school summer holidays - so we won't be alone on our jaunts.
We have a couple days left here in the centre of London - so hopefully, i'll have a chance to get some more photos up on the site tomorrow!
cheers
