June 18: Stonehenge & Salisbury



This morning started early, but not as early as tomorrow is going to be. We departed for Stonehenge at 9am. Stonehenge was cool, but it’s one of those places you see and take photos of and there is really nothing else to do. They no longer let you go up in the rocks, which is a shame, but people were defacing them and chipping parts away as souvenirs so now it’s roped off. The main thing there was the beetles! They were ridiculous. They loves Amelia and my hair and were not easy to get off. After that we departed for Salisbury where we saw swans, beautiful churches and the Salisbury Cathedral. It was amazing and beautiful! To think how long ago it was made and all the detail that went into it! A bunch of us went to lunch at the Haunch of Venison and I decided to try something new. That didn’t go very well. I had a salmon sandwich, but the salmon was weird, thinly sliced and I’m not sure if it was cooked. We got a guided tour through part of the Salisbury Cathedral and got to see the Magna Carta, which was pretty cool. That is probably the oldest piece of paper I’ll ever see. The ride back should have been a half an hour, but it took considerably longer because of traffic issues.

Today’s blog seems incredibly short for such a busy day, but nothing too exciting happened it was just a lot of pictures and touring. Tomorrow is bright and early for a 7am train to London. Now that is going to be a busy day and I’m sure I’ll have quite the stories to tell.
