Day trips (Part 1 - Stonehenge and Bath)

Stonehenge

There was a certain aura that hung around the area... the eerieness that clung to each stone.. what were they placed there for? Who placed them here? How did they erect such massive objects? These stones were brought from the Presili Hills in Wales, some 250km away... how did they transport these stones, some weighing as much as 7 adult elephants put together, to it's present location?

Legend has it that Merlin had got a giant construct the Stonehenge and then he magically moved it from Mount Killaraus in Ireland to its present location. Others say that it was the Devil who is responsible for the Stonehenge.

Definitely worth a visit I'd say...

Bath
Bath was quite a lovely town. Housemates of Endymion Rd...

Think that's the Abbey...

Pulteney Bridge in Bath... it's got shops on the bridge itself...

We had also gone to the Roman Bath Spa, but cause it was £8 + to get in we decided it wasnt worth going... people have told us it was a rip off anyway...
