On Saturday we rented a car and drove out to see Stonehenge and Bath with Kapil's brother Nikhil and cousin Shikha. Mr. Mohan didn't take any time to get used to the stick-shift car and opposite side of the road and off we were. At the last moment we decided to go see the Queen's house - Windsor Castle.
Here are 3 of us outside the entrance..
We then went on the Stonehenge. It is a World Heritage Site believed to be erected in 2200 BC! It looked amazing but not worth 6.50 pounds to see it from close so K and S went in and N and I enjoyed it from the outside. We were planning to buy the t-shirt 'STONEHENGE ROCKS!'
I had read that the Salisbury castle is really good so we headed there and it turned out to be nothing but the ground where the castle once was. The Salisbury cathedral was the famous place so we went there and oh we weren't disappointed - it was BEAUTIFUL! This 750 years old cathedral has the tallest church spire in the UK, contains the world's oldest working clock (from AD 1386) and has one of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta. There was a service going on - the music gave it a totally eerie feeling..it was LOVELY!
Bath was beautiful! Great architecture, the river, the Roman baths - absolutely amazing!
Bath at night..
