Bath and Stonehenge

It was our final day of road tripping around England and I was so happy it would be the last day in that car. The thought of it makes me sick still. After 8 months of hardly any driving this was becoming all too much and the Navi wasn't helping. It is strange that with some people, my mother for example, when there is a navi telling you what to do all roadsigns disappear. The navi must be right and those roadsigns don't matter any more. So the good old sign that is red with a white bar through it that mean NO ENTRY doesn't count either! Oh ha ha ha. Navi said to turn right so she did. We just had turned onto a busy street with cars flying towards us. After almost dying with mum doing a u-turn and getting out of there we met Michelle at the train station and continued our tour of Bath on a bus. We got off to see what was Jane Austins house for a few months and then hopped back on the bus to finish the tour. We went then into the old Roman Baths which was okay then we left to visit some random places on our way back to London.
The first stop I cant remember the name of but it was another Harry Potter filming site. Basically it was a very old Abbey and Sophie and I got to dress up like old English people. Fun!

I found a dead owl, and this is the Hedwig Soph bought at Alnwick and sat at the front of our car. Dead owl, fake owl.
After this town we saw the white horse on the hill, some giant rocks and then Stonehenge.

Stonehenge was very cool. It was a pity that you could really go near it though. Here is a clip that shows how it works.

There's a small fence that you walk around and then you walk out. Simple as. I still believe it was put there by aliens even though the audio guide said differently but its more exciting to think it was aliens. In the car park we brought some really nice ice cream too which, if you go here, need to try.
Once finished with the stones we drove ourselves to Gatwick airport where we said goodbye to Michelle and checked into our Hilton room for the night and our last night in England. And now I am so happy I don't have to write about England anymore :D
