Bath and Stonehenge

Hey! Today was our first trip out of London - and we went to Bath, Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral! Let me just tell you that the trip was amazing!!!!! Stonehenge was great and mysterious - no one could tell us why the people spent so long dragging stones from far away, shipping them over by rafts, and then rollong them over on rollers, and finally placing them in a coircle! The amazing thing is that they actually removed some of the stones after all this hard work!!


Salisbury cathedral was very beautiful - i just loved the architecture. Started in 1226, and taking 38 years to build, the cathedral houses some of Britains great history. For those who know British history - the principal witness of the signing of the Magna Carta (forgotten his name!!) is buried here. There is also a beautiful copy of the Magna Carta in the building. The Magna Carta is a very important document - the first such official document which gave a list of human rights, and laws for society.

Then Bath was one of the most beautiful cities I've seen. The entire city is Georgian, and boasts wonderful architecture. Also has the original Roman Baths at over 2000 years old.

After coming back to London, we headed over to Hyde Park - which was great, and saw the Diana memorial - which I must admit was a bit disappointing. Cangie described it as a sewer - and I don't think she was far off the mark.

i then had the BIGGEST DINNER EVER at the Hardrock Cafe - the largest bowl of Nachos ever seen! Jason and Cangie were so sure I would not be able to finish - but with sheer determination, and an iron stomach I managed to eat the entire thing! The ironic thing was that the only reason we went there was to eat the free dessert (we had a voucher for that). But I was sooooo full after the main meal that I could not even touch the dessert - what a waste of a freeeeeee hot fudge sundae!!!!!!!

okay gotta gfo!
