Stonehenge and Bath

Jump to Comments

Today, I went on a coach (bus) to visit Stonehenge and the town of Bath. It was such a dreary day weather wise-cold rain and overcast-so not the best day for sightseeing but I still had a really nice time.

Me at Stonehenge. It was smaller than I expected, and visitors aren’t allowed to go up close to the actual stones which was a bit disappointing. Stonehenge is a bit out in the middle of nowhere, the closest occupants to the mysterious landmark are sheep.

There’s def. a lot more to see in Bath! It’s a beautiful city that has so much history. The first king of England was crowned here, and the city has ruins and buildings that date back to norman and saxon conquest. The city got its namesake from the hot springs that the Romans bathed in, and this is what they look like:

Check out the steam!

The buildings in downtown Bath are very pretty. My favorites were the Georgian-style ones, like this:

My tour guide told me that one of these apartments sell for 5 million pounds. Anyone want to buy a girl a flat?

And here is an uneven street with a phone booth and an old limestone wall. I quite like this photo:

Besides the weather, I had an exciting day of visiting new places. Tomorrow, I am going to go see Tony Head’s new play at the Old Vic called ‘Six Degrees of Separation’, and I’ll write about that.

Cheers,

Sarah
