On Saturday the 1st of August I went on a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath. The trip was organised by BUNAC, the organisation who I organised my British visa and the rest. In true English style it rained all day.
We left London and our first stop was Stonehenge and with the help of an audio tour I learnt the mysteries surrounding the stones. The rain made it all more eerie. We did not stop long at Stonehenge, just long enough to walk around and take a few photos.
Our next stop was Bath and our first point of call was the Roman Baths. We spent a couple of hours wandering through the different rooms learning the Roman traditions before reaching the very photogenic main bath. At the Baths we were also told of the history through an audio tour, this time it included the voice of Bill Bryson. He is a very funny travel writer although I felt his comments did not add a lot of insight.
Following the Roman Baths we ate some lunch before walking through the rainy city. The rain made it difficult to appreciate the beautiful architecture.
We all then boarded the bus back to London. I stayed Friday night and Saturday night with my cousin Summa and her friend Tia. On Sunday I went back to see my mates at the Pedal Boats in Hyde Park.
On Sunday night it was almost warm enough to feel like summer so Summa, Tia and I had a BBQ dinner before I got on an overnight bus to Edinburgh, Scotland.
