Stonehenge

Pasty Time!
Day three was our trip to Stonehenge! We slept in for the first time since our arrival and skipped over to the London Bridge DRL station where we had delicious Cornish Pasties for brunch! We stuck with the traditional flavor, and the warm meal was exactly what we needed on a cold London morning!

Next we headed for Victoria Coach Station, where we met our bus for the nearly two hour trip to Wiltshire. After a refreshing nap, we awoke in the middle of nowhere. We were informed that this was Stonehenge and disembarked. We then boarded a trolley that took us to the stones. It was a beautiful day in the English country side and we had beautiful views of the monument. Unfortunately, we were not permitted to walk among the rocks because there are ancient artifacts buried beneath the site.

Although it was very cool to see and amazing to wonder how such a primitive people built such a heavy structure, Stonehenge was a bit underwhelming. By the time we returned to London, it was nearly dinner time and most other places of interest in the city were closed. At least we got some wonderful pictures
