Our second day, Monday, we went on a tour outside of London to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor Castle. This was also the day the camera acted up so we didn't get as many pictures as we wanted. We left London at 7:45 am and drove out to Stonehenge (a two hour drive). We were on a mini bus with 7 other people. One family was from Vancouver, and the other two couples were from Houston (what are the odds!) Stonehenge is actually pretty unimpressive unless you ponder all the questions like who made it and why is it there.
We then went on to the city of Bath and toured the Roman baths. It was fun and we would have loved to see more of the city because it is famous for its architecture. We then drove through the English countryside back towards London and saw lots of quaint towns.
We stopped at Windsor castle (where the queen spends her summers) for a tour. It was fun to see the state apartments, the gardens, the Abbey, etc. If fact, they were setting up for a state dinner that night so the queen was probably there when we were! Too bad you can't take picutres inside the castle. We then went back to London and out that night to a restaurant famous for their fish and chips. It was the best meal we had in London. Yummy!!
