Europe cont...

Day 2: day trip to Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge

We got coffee at a local star bucks, where i apparently am Ritchel, and took the tube to where we were to meet our tour bus...thankfully we left a little early bc it took us a minute to find the coach center.

Then we off to see the queen at Windsor...mom Loved it! We got to tour the doll house, which included electricity and plumbing and of course a set of crown jewels..the whole house was made of real items, just in miniature. We also got to see the state apartments, where most of the entertaining goes on at the castle.





After Windsor we were off to see Bath... We were pleasantly surprised t see how beautiful it was. It reminded me so much of Florence with its Italian inspired architect. We went to the baths first, I was very excited to tour the bath, because we didn't see any while in Italy. The baths are heated from a natural hot spring, you could see the steam coming off the water. At the end of the tour you could drink some of the bath water which supposedly will keep you looking young and healthy...after some debating we decided the water was not for us;)









Stonehenge was our last stop...and I have to say I didn't expect much, the two other times we have been to London we have never been. People have told us its really not worth it. Well it exceeded my expectations, which were low. I actually really enjoyed seeing the stones and am glad I can officially mark it off my list!
