In order to make the most of my day and see as much as possible I signed up for a day tour of the Windsor Castle, The Baths and Stonehenge. An 11 hour journey with so much to be seen.
An 8:30am departure with an 8am check in was the beginning of my very long day. We had a full bus with a total of 53 in the tour. The driver and the guide were very entertaining and also very funny.
Our first stop was the Windsor Castle. We had a long que or line to enter. Our time was very limited for we were constantly in a rush to get to wherever. The castle was very amazing. It was unique in that it looked as if it was from a fairy tale but there wasn’t much to see. I was able to see the queen’s doll house. I also got to take a picture with the guard which was the highlight of this site.
Our second stop was The Baths. It started raining and I was not prepared for this type of weather. I had to wear one of those plastic rain ponchos. The rest of the group and I looked like such tourists.
The Baths were a very cool place filled with so much history. With many carvings and ancient ruins, The Baths were sort of a mystery with all of the unknown.
Our last stop was Stonehenge, the only reason I really wanted to go on this tour. I had studied it in one of my classes and was instantly intrigued.
I was so excited for this stop. We only had so much time but it was most definitely worth it no matter how short the time. The stones were huge and way bigger than I thought. It is unreal how they managed to put them where they were with the little technology they had. It was mind blowing.
I might have missed New Grange, but Stonehenge was enough to make me forget about it. My day was made, in fact I think my whole year was made.
