On Friday, we took a day long excursion to Stonehenge and a city called Bath. Waking up at 8 am and finally getting back home at 6:30 pm was well worth it.
Stonehenge was all I had expected, and more. Just being present at this historic and world famous landmark was more than interesting, almost unexplainable. Of course, I made the entire bus wait for me because I was too busy really taking it in and filming myself for the blog, but I think it was well worth it. Everything else I explained in the video, so here's the link:

Afterwards, we took the bus to a city called Bath. During the bus, we finally got to see some countryside that England has to offer. It was a nice change from being in the center of the hustle and bustle town of London. The hills were so green, there was the occasional sheep, goats, cows, and pigs, and gorgeous houses were sparsely nestled within greenery. When we got to Bath, we took a tour in the famous Roman Baths. As you may or may not know, Bath is known to have been the center of the popular baths that the British people would take a dip in in order to either rid themselves of illness, or as a leisurely activity where the townspeople would gossip and sip on tea. Anyways, the tour was interesting, but nothing too special. The actual city was beyond beautiful though. It had rows of small nifty shops, and I actually scored a killer leather jacket from this place, certainly made me a happy camper. Besides the shops, there were houses lined up along the hills, and the scenery looked straight out of a movie. There was also a nice little park where we saw a newly wedded couple still in their tux and wedding dress.
Sarah and I ate something new called "pasties": dough filled with meat and veggies, tossed in the toaster for crispiness. It was really, really, really good, and affordable too.
Anyways, hope you enjoy the pictures, and don't forget to check out the video. Till next time!
