Visiting London

Visiting Bath and Stonehenge

July 6, 2008

Hello once again,

Today we were taken to two places away from London, in fact almost on the border of England. The first place was Bath, and it was beautiful! Though I didn’t know what to expect from Bath when I first heard of it, it was love at first sight as soon as I got there. While London is more like New York City, as I mentioned before, Bath is a proper European town. With it’s fascinating architecture, and open valleys, it is one of the most picturesque towns I have ever been to. Another famous aspect of Bath is it’s water, which contains 20-something minerals. I had that water, and it actually tasted different. They say such water has curative powers. The only regret I have from this trip, and it’s pretty big, is the fact that my camera died right after I took two pictures. For some reason the charger for my rechargable batteries somehow doesn’t work anymore (my guess is that the difference in voltage has caused some sort of fuse) and because of that, I couldn’t take any pictures. But my solution is that I will take the pictures my friends have taken, who cares if it’s cheating!

The other place we went to was Stonhenge. Though I have heard a lot about the place, and seen many pictures, I really wasn’t the most excited upon arriving there. I mean in the basic sense, it’s only a bunch of rocks put together. I might be being a little ignorant (or whatever you’d call it), but that’s really what I felt. After staying there for about 10-15 minutes, I was done. But I do plan on going back to Bath once before my trip ends, and I recommend it to everybody who plans to visit England.

Well that’s it for now, I plan to go to sleep at a reasonable hour today (something that I haven’t been doing here at all!), and do something productive tomorrow.

Till next time,

Rachit
