Stonehenge and Bath

Jess and I decided to take a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath (1.5 hours from London to Stonehenge and then another hour to Bath).

I present to you: Stonehenge!

There are a lot more questions about this prehistorical monument than there are of answers... and one of those questions you may wonder about, as someone else did while we were there "What's so famous about a pile of big rocks?" hahaha... well lucky for those people we had a handy guide:

This was our audio guide that informed us of interesting facts about Stonehenge including:
- the exact purpose of these rocks remains a mystery

- if we cut the stone in half, it will reveal blue and white speckled stone

- the stones range from 30-50 tonnes each

- approximately 600 men were needed to transport the stones

This stone is called the 'Heel Stone'. I can't remember why it was famous but I thought it sort of looked like a grumpy face!

A different angle of Stonehenge.

After spending an hour walking around and taking lots of photos of Stonehenge, we headed off to Bath - a beautiful tourist city that is better if you stay the night. There was so much to see and do but didn't have enough time!

A quick shot of the city while on the bus - it looks more impressive in real life :)

Look at how symmetrical all the buildings are!

Bath Abbey - didn't get time to explore it.

Off to the Roman Baths... but not before spotting a Ben and Jerry Ice Cream Palour just opposite! Again, due to lack of time, I missed out! :(

I was so disappointed :(

Roman Baths

Ozbear decided to come with me on this day trip...

He even got to have a photo with a Roman lady!

By the time we explored the Roman Baths, we had about 1.5 hours to kill before we were due back on the bus. We hadn't eaten lunch yet so off we headed to the famous Sally Lunn's! Never heard of it? Well neither had I until my mum mentioned it. Sally Lunn (real name Solange Sollie Luyon was a Huguenot (French Protestant) who came to Bath in 1680. She worked in a Bath bakery, which is now known as Sally Lunn's, who made the famous buns. I stupidly forgot to take a photo of the buns for you but its similar to a breadroll only very crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside! Can be eaten with sweet or savoury toppings!
