Stonehenge Drive By
We woke up bright and early this morning and packed the rest of our bags. It was day light savings at 2am last night, so we lost an hour of sleep before heading out on our journey for the day. We packed up the car and we were on the road by 11am. We left Bournemouth and headed north.
Our route brought us through beautiful Salisbury. Is Salisbury know for being beautiful? I don't know but everything in the UK looks so cool to us because of how old it is.
We went through so many villages that it is getting pretty had to keep track and recall which route we took once it comes time to write the blog later in the day.

Oh, look at what we stumbled across.
Stonehenge is one of the sights on our list to see in England. http://www.stonehenge.co.uk/
We were able to see the Stonehenge from the road, we slowed down (as did everyone else) and we awed at it and took photos..
In order to get back onto the main road we had to pass Stonehenge again. We got more than our share of photos. If we specifically travelled to Stonehenge we probably would have stopped but we just did it on the way to our real destination.
We left Stonehenge and continued to head north..
After we checked in we headed to the grocery store which was a gigantic Tesco.
Took this photo because it made me think of some of my clients. ;P |
Our new favourite store. |
We went back to the hotel, had some food and watched some TV and rested. The grey clouds rolled in so we stayed in for the rest of the night.

You should go!
DeleteSometimes, the more casual perspective of a trip can be far more entertaining. I grew up in the UK and this was a joy to read and reminisce.
ReplyDeleteAwe, that is great!
