Yesterday was an exhausting day. We headed out to Stonehenge at 8am on the coach. It was quite uncomfortable to start. I was feeling abit funny from jetlag still and the bouncing of the bus made me a bit edgy. Stonehenge was really awesome and I loved it. There was a strange sense of peace up there despite the tourists. You could almost imagine the processions that took place thousands of years ago. It was quite bitter, around 0degrees and then the wind picked up and it was below freezing. We spent about an hour there before moving on towards Bath. I slept for most of the couch ride but woke as we wound our way down into Bath. It was stunning. I have never seen anything like it and cannot describe it accurately.
We went to the Roman Baths which was amazing. They even had some play actors who put on a bit of a show worshipping the goddess. Both Stonehenge and Bath have these self-guided tours with audio things so you end up lookings like a bit of a twit with the speaker up to your ear as you walk around. Of course, everyone is looking like twits together so it is okay.
We got back in at around 630ish and after changing clothes and having a quick dinner a bunch of us headed out to the Winter Wonderland - a theme park set up in the centre of town. I caught my very first tube train that night. That was certainly an experience which I wasn't entirely comfortable with.
The Winter Wonderland was beautiful, all lit up with fairylights and a giant moose head singing christmas carols. I thought of mum when I say that. Next year we should get one for the house!
TODAY we had a free day. We had a free coach drive around the city first and then we were dropped in Trafalgar Square.Myself and two others, Haley and Mila, went out to the London Eye and had a turn on that. Nothing to say about that, to be honest. There is a thick fog (possibly smog) blanketing the sky so it was hard to take pictures.
We next went to the Tower of London and had a look around. Architecture obviously hasn't changed but the exhibitions have. We had a wander around, the Ravens are massive and just as snobby as last time, refusing to turn around so that the tourist hoarde could take photos.
We are heading off to see the Broadway show of Wicked tonight at 6pm. Looking forward to it.
By the way, it is not even 5pm and it is dark. My body demands that I sleep becuase it is dark. Not cool!
Tomorrow we are off to Paris. We will be travelling all day by coach, ferry and then coach again. I plan on sleeping a lot.
Love you all!
Ps. Blew my nose yesterday and it came out black. Kind of suggests what I am inhaling on the streets of London, huh. Bet you really wanted to know that.
