Having a bath

Well we have made it all the way to Bath. There hasn't been many placses to use the internet at the places we have been touring. We arrived at Bradford-on-Avon where we are staying at a lovely B&B a couple of days ago. The first day we toured Stonehenge, Old Sarum, Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow, and Lacock. By the end of the day we were beat. Stonehenge was fantastic to see. You can only walk around the outside of the rock circle, but it is till very impressive. We spent at least an hour listening to the audio, walking around the site and taking pictures. Took a couple of dozen photographs which we will probabily never look at a gain but it just makes you want to capture it all. Off we went to old sarum a fortress on the hill which was occupied up until about 1300 when the bishop decided to move the church to a better location which became Salisbury. Avebury is a huge stone circle or should I say several stone circles. Here you can walk around and among the stones. They are huge, it is hard to believe that the stones were moved from miles away, almost 4500 years ago. As I said you can walk around the stones , but you have to watch where you step. Sheep are in the fields with the stones to keep the grass down, and sheep dung is everywhere. A barrow is a burial site or mound. Lacock is a town under the national heritage trust, very old and quite neet.

Yesterday we were off to Bath. Toured the Roman bath ruins. Again very impressive. The size and engineering is amazing. Today is to be a bit of a rest. We are using the B&B computer so will be keeping this short. Not sure what we will be doing today, but tomorrow we will be off to Bourdon-on-the -Water for the walking tour. We purchased our train tickets yeserday. Hopefully there will be a computer to use there. By for now.
