Today we boarded the bus at 8 for our tour of Stonehenge and Bath. I was glad to be getting out of the city for a while... going from a population of 60,000 to 8 million is quite a change. Molly loves it here but I'd rather be out on the countryside like we were today. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful town than Bath. Two things I can …

Hello again!
Top O' the Morning to You!
Today was another GREAT and exciting day!
I managed to visit one of my childhood DREAMS! I visited the Stonehenge! It was the most AMAZING experience and I learnt quite a lot of stuff about it. I read a page in my travel book, and a good way to describe its usage is-
"Whatever religious, …

We armed ourselves with a new sim card and a mobile internet 'dongle' and called into the information center and they printed off instructioons for a couple of caravan parks near Bathe which was our next destination. We planned our route and phoned ahead too the caravan park - they were open and they had an electrical hook up site available.

So the last few days have been pretty busy.
Sine the last post we have been to St Paul's' Cathedral and we actually climbed right to the top which included something around 500 stairs and I will have to admit I didn't do al that well with the heights (265 foot up with see through stairs.)
Brent also took us to the London tower where the …

We've seen some amazing things so far on our honeymoon, but Stonehenge is the first site that Dave has pronounced as "Awesome!".







Stonehenge doesn't disappoint, and as Dave says, this ancient site is a lot bigger and more impressive than you might think. It dominates the skyline and can be seen easily from …

To recap on the last few days: Lorin and I headed to Camden to go see some live music. Apparently 'live' music means a regular club with a DJ. lol. So we go into this club and are wearing our backpacks...which we both thought was hilarious and made a backpack dance. We had just finished agreeing that 80's music was our least favorite era. And where …

Day three was by far my favorite day of the trip. We woke up slightly earlier to make the trek out to Stonehenge and Bath. On our way through the countryside I couldn't help but notice how perfectly all of the fields were kept. The grass was a perfect shade of green, separated into a quilt-like work by neatly kept hedgerows. Here and there the …

We travel by Tube at midnight to Marble Arch to wait for our summer solstice tour to Stonehenge, the tour bus is about 45 minutes late. We finally get going and everyone is so excited that they fall asleep for the next hour or so. The tour guide wakes us up before we get there to give a history spiel about the stones. We arrive and park and walk …

The weather was good and with thermals under our clothes, we celebrated winter solstice at Stonehenge. Arriving before 7am meant we got the last of the legit parking spots up a track with only a short walk to the site. We followed the sounds of the ...

I know it is amazing... like how did they erect these things 3000 years ago? I can't tell you anything you already didn't know about this place I'm afraid, except that you get just as close from outside the perimeter fence as you do if you pay the ...

Not far from London (because nothing in England is far from anything), out on the grassy rolling hills lies the famous Stonehenge, a seemingly unimportant arrangement of stones. We all know that Stonehenge is more than that though.  What I noticed ...
