DAY 13
July 26, 2022 (Day 3 in LONDON)
Back to breakfast today at 6:45 to get an earlier start to the morning. Despite this, the dining room was already buzzing with people. It is obvious the hotel has a lot of guests.
Bus Ride To Stonehenge...
We headed out early today – 8 a.m. to take a 2 hour bus ride west of London to Stonehenge. Grammy Gloria ensured she got a picture of every bus driver we have had since the journey began in Copenhagen.
Stonehenge consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.
Onto The Roman Baths in BATH...
After the short stop at Stonehenge, we journeyed towards the city of Bath to see a tour of the Roman Baths and to spend an hour in the city sightseeing, shopping and having lunch. Subway caught my eye and due to my stomach feeling a little queasy from all of the twists and turned climbing the hills of England, this was just what I needed. I also caught a few seconds of a saxophonist playing in the square.
Dinner At Bella Italia..
We went to dinner at the Italian restaurant Bella Italia in the Strand area. We caught the metro and on the way to the restaurant, there were some singers on the side of the street singing ‘Tell Me More’ from Grease! This was a nice surprise. A dinner we had bruschetta for an appetizer (bread with cherry tomatoes and onions with balsamic vinegar, Spaghetti Bolognaise for the entrée and tiramisu for dessert. All were delicious.
STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW...
Day 13 in England is done! I can’t believe it is almost over.
Tomorrow we have our last day of activities which include visiting the large ‘ferris wheel’ called the London Eye as well as seeing the show ‘South Pacific’ in the evening.
