Footprints in London - Stonehedge

London Day 3 (13 Nov '07)

Fourteen Stop : Salisbury Cathedral

Woke up after a cold cold night, early in the morning, I think Blamer is trying to prove something... Wot u think?

aniwaz, our breakfast menu. quite interesting on the first day, but soon u'll realise tat it's the same everyday... We ordered English Breakfast and Scambled Eggs on Toast. The Jam is really nice though, the way they present it is very appetising.

After breakfast, we rushed down to Buckingham Palace Rd where our tour agency is situated. Golden Tours the name of the agency and we managed to get a discount for our one day tour thru the Britain Card. Reached the place at 0830 in the morning, it's so cold that we tried to capture our breathe, but I dun think u can see it.
It was a pretty long wait, hence we continue to take pics in the cold.
Finally the bus came but we still have to wait for late comers to board the bus, hence took pics of the bus as well.
After nearly an hour of bus ride, Salisbury came into sight.

Salisbury Cathedral is an international symbol of Christianality and it houses one of the four remaining copies of the Magna Carta which explains why it is consider one of the must visit places either for tourism or pilgrim.

More pics in the cathedral. We went to the Chapter House, but unfortunately, no pictures are allowed.

After visiting the cathedral, it's time for local English lunch at the nearby pub. There are 3 choices to choose from, beef stew, cold chicken salad and sausage & mash. I ordered the beef stew while Blamer ordered the sausage & mash.
Fifteenth Stop : Stonehedge

The main attraction of the day is Stonehedge, one of the 7 wonders of the world, according the tour guide, it's a wonder because the stones that made up the structure came from different parts of England like Wales, and blah blah blah, (can't really remember so much) and given their level of technology then, it is just amazing that they can transport all those stones thru such great distance and stack them up to form the structure. Supposedly, the structure is use for some early days worshipping.


We tried to help them hold up the stones a bit. Hee hee
Now the following few pics of zi pai is of great importance, cos after this sequence, Blamer got her name of Blamer and Kao Pei all at the same time and we oso ended up SGD500 poorer.

As u can see, we tried to adjust the camera angle till it... ... But "dent dent" (new name for camera) is still working fine and we tried to swallow Stonehedge to revenge for "dent dent".


Sixteenth Stop : Roman Bath


This is the last stop of the day, according to our tour guide, the bath is built around the only hot spring in Britain. However, the water is really dirty and I can't imagine anyone being able to bath inside.





A cute little push cart sold selling hotdogs, I think it gives off the Old England kind of feel dun u agree?

After Roman bath we went back to our cosy little house for supper. Bought the supper at a Indian stall, really like their chunky soup. Although they served the same soup everyday, we still went back for it almost every night.

End of Day 3
