Windsor, Bath, and Stonehenge

Sunday was approximately the longest day ever. It may even have felt longer than the day I arrived here. Combining a lack of sleep with minor illness (just a cold) and a 6AM wakeup time meant that I was dragging for most of the day and conking out on a bus as much as possible. It all paid off though as I saw some truly amazing sights!


First up was Windsor. This was a very brief visit so I was happy that I have already visited Windsor for a whole day a few years ago. It's such a cute town so I would have been bummed if I hadn't seen it before because our visit was SPEEDY. I was still half asleep but we saw the town before it was really up and running for the day and my favorite part was seeing the beautiful swans a swimming. Of course I half expected to get attacked by one, but I left with all my limbs so all was good!

The grand entrance

Oh hey, a castle!

Casual.. just my weekend castle

Windsor is so idyllic!

The definition of "blossoming"

More greenery

After getting used to the Thames for a few days, this was a refreshing river to overlook

Swans and everything!

I've never seen so many swans in 2 weeks than I have here in England

Their grace is amazing

They're also kind of scary... 

...I was actually expecting an attack

So regal next to the ducks

Loving the nature of England

Next up was Bath! First off, the Roman Baths were just amazing to see! I love seeing things that are so ancient, but were ahead of their time in terms of innovation either in structure or concept. This beautiful hot spring is just that! Even better, the town around it is just adorable. There are great shops and it is beautiful to walk around. If you get a chance, a day in Bath would be well spent.

The beautiful cathedral in the central square

The entrance to the Roman baths

The very Gothic cathedral... I think

The interesting part about this is that this second level where we walked was at street level

Sort of old statues around the baths... I guess

Surrounding the baths

Hey check it out! A hot spring!

Friends at the baths!

Trying not to shiver

There was actually steam rising up from the baths

England's version of glitter? I'll take it

Music was everywhere around this area!

Music was even in the gazebo

Some things were a little crooked

The countryside

Our last stop was Stonehenge. It's hard to describe how incredible it is to see these sights in person. Such a mysterious and formidable structure that is just kind of there... and has been there for quite a long time and is apparently staying for a while is just breathtaking. The area around it is so clear and there's no shopping mall next to it. Left basically in all its glory, you can truly appreciate the beauty of Stonehenge.

The sky was incredible

It was also very, very cold

Yep... that's actually Stonehenge

...'cause you HAVE to get a picture with it when you're there

The birds get to touch it but we don't!

Countryside surrounding Stonehenge

The rocks are so worn and mossy, but they don't seem to be going anywhere!

It's just unreal

Or surreal

Nevertheless, it is there and stupendous!

More adventures will be coming soon, in London and elsewhere!

Stay tuned.
