UK Part 2

We couldn't make a trip to England without seeing the mysterious Stonehenge.  


Double Decker bus ride to the stones.


Here they are in all their mysterious glory.

Proof that we were there - with our packs.

After we had our fill of the stones we waited in the parking lot for our bus.  As we waited we were offered a ride to Bath, our next destination. Now, just like the rest of you I was taught to never accept a ride from a stranger.  So, before you get all excited that we disobeyed our childhood lesson let me tell you - it was from a couple who were visiting from Kentucky. We took their picture for them, and they took ours at Stonehenge.  We had chatted with them earlier. And my pack was starting to feel really heavy.  Does that explain away the crazy fact that we accepted a ride from a stranger when there have been horror films made of strangers in foreign lands?  I don't know. All I know is that we felt just fine about it at the time.

Our new friends were headed to Bath for the night, but they wanted to stop in Avesbury first.  Avesbury is a lesser known stone circle that you can only access with a car.

We had afternoon tea (herbal in case you were worried) in a beautiful old manor.
