My So Called Parisian Life: Stonehenge and Bath

Well, this day did not start off as planned. We had to be at the Baker Street Tube Station, which is a straight shot from our flat. It's about a 10 minute tube ride so we were excited since we had to be there at 8am. So we leave our flat around 7:45am thinking we would get there right away. Well, we were mistaken. Of course, the one weekend that we actually need to use our line, it's closed because of "scheduled maintenance work". So we had no way to get there. Then, we needed to figure out how to take a bus to get to the tube station. We got on the bus, but there was a diversion in the road, so we went off course. So we got off and then just hailed a cab. Finally we get there only about 10 minutes late. We wanted to stop and get a bit to eat and one of the ISA directors said we had 20 minutes before we left. So we went to a place inside the tube station and about 3 minutes later he came galavanting over to where we were saying that we had to go... now! So my roommates had to leave their bacon sandwiches and we went off to the bus.

Our first stop was to Stonehenge. We got lucky because it was an absolutely gorgeous day out. The stones are from around 2000 BC and were put up even before the pyramids in Egypt. It amazes me how no one really knows how they got there. We only stayed for about 45 minutes before we headed off to Bath.

Once in Bath, we got off the bus and saw mummers, which are people that dress up very...oddly. We walked around the town a bit and then had some free time to have lunch and explore a bit. After that we went to the Roman Bath House which was really cool! We got to walk around and see the baths. At the end of the museum,we got to taste the water. It was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like blood. Ew, so gross.

It was the same ordeal once we got back to London. We had to figure out a way home. We waited for what seemed like forever for the bus. Then the bus never announced our stop so we missed it and got off 2 stops later. Then we walked back to the tube where the tube was running to be able to get home. Well since all the tubes were diverted we waited forever but finally got home. A very long day, but totally worth it.
