Stonehenge

Up early for the first day of tour, feeling a little seedy didn't help but I am on holidays, all is good. We start with a bus guided tour around London, I realised I still have a few things to go see, so my last day in London will keep me busy.

At 10:30pm we arrive at Stonehedge, it is a very iconic destination located in Wiltshire. It was created back in the day of the first pyramids and it is only a shadow of the original. It was believed to have taken more than 30 million hours to create and no one seems to the know the purpose of its creation.

We had a late lunch in Bath and got to visit a Roman bath which was still in pretty good condition. Bummer we couldn't get into the water and lay in the natural hot springs. It was seen as a religious site and a church was located right next to the baths. A small walk around Bath took us to Sally Dunns House which is famous for fruit buns. Beer O'clock so Adrian, Andrew and Chris join me for a feed and an ale.

Tonight we stay in Bristol, we arrived at 4:30 pm and I was in a hurry to find a pub which played sky sports to watch Australia vs Pakistan in the T20 semi final. We eventual find one after about 6-7 pubs looking and a couple of beers before we are dragged away only a couple of overs into Australia's innings.

We get ourselves through a 3 course meal and head to the oldest pub in Bristol, Hatchet Inn, a couple of pints in plastic cups got me ready for bed.
