I know these all seem to be coming together, but that's what happens when you are strapped for computer access!

We had a good night's sleep at the Sandy Balls (enough of the laughing!), then headed past Salisbury to see Stonehenge. Some people say it's just a pile of old rocks ... but we quite enjoyed it. It makes you wonder how they even got it built - some of those rocks are massive!

Next stop: Bath ... and obviously, to the Roman Baths & Pump Room. That place was amazing! We had a pretty good tour guide and then we went up & tried some of the magical, healing spring water. It was warm, it was sulphury, and we certainly could not have managed the 5 litres a day that doctors were prescribing back in the Roman times!

After Bath, we continued on to Bristol to catch up with Graham & Gary (the guys we met on the Tour de France). We reminisced into the night, and then next morning the boys took us to their favourite cafe for a 'special breakfast'. It was massive - there were eggs, sausages, 1/2 a pig of bacon, fried bread, buttered bread, beans & tomatoes ... all washed down with an enormous mug of tea! It kept us going all day!!! (and for me not to eat at lunchtime ... well, you know it must have been big!)

We said our goodbyes and headed off to checkout the Clifton Suspension Bridge before continuing on to Wales.
