Day Three

On the third day, Lynnwei's friends, Lynnwei and I went to Stonehenge. The guys stayed somewhere South East London while Sharon, Lynnwei and I were in West London. So we decided to meet up at Waterloo Station (not talking about the places in monopoly game). The trip there wasn't direct so we had to stop at Basingstoke to change to another train to Salisbury. The ride took approximately two hours plus the waiting at the Basingstoke station. Upon reaching the Salisbury station, we immediately bought the bus fare to go to Stonehenge at the ticket counter. The bus ride there took about half an hour, I think.

I can't really describe what I feel when I saw the stones. But I did want to come to look at these stones. It is world heritage. There's more information on internet on those but from what I know or read from article, archaeologists did think that aliens did them. It's really amazing how the people in the past manage to put the heavy stone on top of another heavy big stone to form circular pattern.

Visitors weren't allowed to walk amongst the stones to look nearer or touch them now. However, visitors used to be allowed in the past.

This photo of Stonehenge was thought to be in original position.

Lynnwei and I took a lot of photos while we walked around. We also had an audio guide to tell us more information of how the stone was found to be there and what is it of the use, etc. It was quite cold that day as it was quite windy. I manage to hide my hands in my jacket's pockets.

After finish visiting, we took the bus back to town centre and went to a fish and chip shop for late lunch. Lynnwei and I shared a meal as my mum cooked laksa that night and I wanted to save some space. :)
