More of England pt 2

after the salisbury cathedral we drove a short distance to Stonehenge, the mysterious monument. we past by the meadows of 'canola'..at first i was excited each time i see the yellow meadow, but then after a while, we see it like everywhere we drove..the excitement died down..




we paid for entrance and got our audio set and set off to see the stones. it is believed that the stones have been there for thousands of years and believed to function differently throughout the ages..

another pic of us posing ..jake brought a tripod to the trip so when weather and crowd allows, he would prop them up and insist we took numerous shots to get his money's worth on the trip.

Following stonehenge, we drove to our Bath. Bath is famous for its naturally-occuring hot spring where the Roman built bath houses. Below is the bath house.

The city is also famous for its Georgian architecture. See pic below of 'The Circus' (circus is latin for ring, oval or circle) The building consists of 30 townhouses all set in a semi circle..(my picture don't do justice)

Our last destination of the day was Cardiff.We knew we had arrived when the sign started to show dual language.



It's interesting to note that we experienced almost 4 season in a day. First it was raining at Windsor, then it was a generally nice day at Winchester and Salisbury. At Stonehenge, it was very fine summer day and it started raining again in Bath. Finally Cardiff was freezing cold for us.

We wanted to try 'Welsh' food. We spotted many English and Irish pubs. Then we saw the HRM Prince of Wales. We decided to try it, but who knows when we got inside, it turned out to be an English chain, so we ended up with .....(see below)




Boring Sunday roast, fish and chips and nachos and rice.

Returning to London was quite exhausting...but I guess given our time limit, this is worth going.
