Stonehenge and Bath - a cultural experience

Therese organised for us to take a day trip to Stonehenge & Bath today - a rather long journey on a full bus (4 hours), especially after we were the last ones to be pick up and we got stuck in the non-adjustable and crappy seats at the back!

Stonehenge was interesting - especially given it was cold and wet - this just added to the aura of the place, but the 45 minutes spent there was probably about 30 minutes too long - there really isn’t that much to see or do, and you can’t get close to the stones as they are fenced off.

The weather improved dramatically between Stonehenge and Bath - it was just absolutely fantastic. The old Roman baths were amazing. The architecture was special.

Had my first “Cornish Pastie” since arrive - Dad would love these!!!

Two hours in Bath just isn’t long enough - it is a lovely town and one worthy of a weekend.

Purchased the first of my local rugby jerseys.

We passed Windsor Castle on the drive back from Bath - quite an impressive site and worth a visit if I have any days free towards the end of this trip.
