April 7th - Bath , Castle Coomb, Lacock, Sheep! (Oh yeah and Stonehenge!)

Saturday was a good day, I got up at 7 and had a lunch of chocolate muffins, croissants, apple juice, and hot chocolate, I was very happy with the breakfast, lol. After breakfast I finished getting ready for the day, and head downstairs to wait for everyone so that we could go to Bath. Bath was really cool, we only really had time for the Roman Baths but it was really cool to even just do that. It was neat to be able to see all the stuff that has so much history too it. My favorite part (apart from seeing it) was that the water is 46C and there was a couple ducks just sleeping in the water, probably very content. I was watching them when I was at the ground level and they drifted near the edge, woke up, and then just swam back in the middle. They were very cute.

After the Baths we moved on to a small village called Castle Coomb (for a few minutes to take pictures). It was a really pretty village (like all of the Cotswolds are). I wish we could have stayed there longer, but we soon moved on to the nice village of Lacock. In Lacock I got to see Harry Potter’s house! There was a really cute cat outside of it also, but it was mean, almost attacking Erin. We then walked to a little stream flowing through, and then went up to King John’s Hunting Lodge which is a little restaurant and tea room. It was really beautiful and really good food. I got tomato and basil soup, I absolutely loved it. After that we made our way back to the bus area, though stopped at a shop with wood things to look around (and possibly get a couple things). Then we made it to the bus right on time.

From Lacock we drove to Stonehenge.  Stonehenge was pretty cool, we got there and it wasn’t super crowded but a bit busy. We went through and under the road to get there, and got to walk around the circle. It would be a lot better if you could go up to the rocks and touch them, but you can’t. There were also sheep which were really cool! Stonehenge was nice to see, not something you need to spend a ton of time at (though if it was a nice day and you could get closer it would be so worth it) but really cool to be able to see.
Look Mom, Rocks!

Once done Stonehenge we made our way back to London via Salisbury, where we could see a huge steeple-thing for a church. Once back in London we got back to Nido, I made dinner, and then Erin and I went shopping. The first place we went was absolutely insane. There were clothes strewn about everywhere and there was a long line for the fitting room. It was bizarre (but cheap). After our shopping I went back to Nido and relaxed before going to sleep.
