Today we left Bath and drove down to Stonehenge – for me this was an “I can’t believe we’re actually here” moment as you always see pictures of it and stuff and to actually see it for ourselves in the flesh (well stone) was again surreal and beyond belief. (I’m trying to come up with some different descriptive words, but am coming up short!) It was the worlds coldest day (well maybe the worlds coldest hour LOL) and it was raining but we still loved seeing the huge old rocks and hearing a bit of the story behind them. They don’t really seem to know why Stonehenge was built – or even how, but they have discovered some interesting features of the ancient creation which dates back as far as 5000 years ago. One thing I found interesting is that is can be like a calendar – the sun shines in the middle of each column (for want of a different word) in the middle of each month. Well something like that anyway!
After Stonehenge we drove about 150kms I guess to our next campsite – it’s weird to again be so close to London (I think we’re about 30 miles away now) and know that we have come in our full circle and are about to end our time in the UK. From here we are heading over to Hertfordshire for the night then on Thursday dropping the campervan off before beginning our European Campaign.
