Stonehenge and Bath

We took a "coach on the motorway" to visit Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath.

The City of Windsor and the Royal Windsor Castle is surrounded by cobblestone streets in 17th century style. It is one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. The Queen was not there either, must be in her summer home in Wales. We walked over the Thames River to the City of Eton where we enjoyed watching street performers dressed in jester clothing as they danced and clogged to music. Entertaining. Then onto Stonehenge which is situated on Salisbury Hill where 40 tone rocks stand alone for the past 5,000 years. Very mysterious. No one knows how or why they are located there. There are several burial mounds around the landscape where some of the leaders are believed to be buried. Truly an amazing site.

Next we went to Bath standing on the slopes of the river Avon. The city is known mostly for the Roman Baths, spas from ancient worlds that where hidden for view until 1870. These are thermal spring waters that gush from the earth below. The Georgian architecture of the city is stunning, with the narrow streets and alley ways. Getting out of London and seeing the country side was well worth the 12 hours that comprised the trip. Once again a long and exhausting day.
