London Spring Break: Part 2

The second day, we took a bus tour. It took us to Stonehenge, Salisbury, and Bath. It was well worth the price. The tour guide was very good and we got a sampling of different English places. Stonehenge was eerie and puzzling. Why was it there? Why do people visit it? But it was definitely cool to see. Next up was Salisbury and its cathedral. Lunch was provided and we could see the spire from our table. I saw the Magna Carta and the oldest working clock. Then, we headed to Bath. We drove by Jane Austen's house and went into an museum about the Roman baths in Bath. We had a little time to wander the streets and take it all in. My only complaint is that I could have spent a lot more time in Salisbury and Bath. I wanted to explore more. For dinner that night, we went to the grocery store and bought pre-made meals that we just stuck in the oven. So good for less than 3 pounds a person.(Our hostel had a full kitchen and provided us breakfast: toast and cereal. Yum.)
