Stonehenge in the wind!
Salisbury Cathedral (800 years old)
The swollen Avon River at SalisburyToday we headed off on a tour to Stonehenge. We had to get up at the crack o dawn to meet the bus that took us.
The day started off very rainy and very windy and it really did not change from that all day. Stonehenge is amazing, it's hard to believe it is so old, it is very impressive.
The Salisbury Cathedral is also a work of art, it took 35 years to build and is over 800 years old. The spire is 404 feet high. The town ship of Salisbury is very European with it's water through the town and the tall skinny buildings and houses.
We also went to Avesbury and saw the other stone circle which is actually larger and older. Larger as in the size of the circle not the stones. Avesbury town is actually built in the middle of the circle. No such thing as conservation when they built that town.
Tomorrow we are spending the day in London, we are going to St Pauls Cathedral, The Princess Diana memorial in Hyde Park and we are climbing the tower that marks the great fire of London in 1666. There are 311 steps to reach the top of the tower.
Next time we leave a blog message we will be in Paris!! Oui Oui.
