Bath and Stonehenge, UK

 When we bathed at night, we saw no one, when we bathed in the morning, again, no one. I wondered whether people in the hostel actually bathe. When we woke up in the morning, the other dorm mates were sleeping, I guess half drunk. The streets were relatively quiet. We can even stand in the middle of the roads without honks. A bit cloudy that day, and some drizzling.

Bath Abbey

Roman Baths- Roman built religious spa using hot mineral water. 

This is me, with a men dressing up like old times.

We had our audio guide at the entrance, so it was not that hard to understand. Roman baths was a place where people from all walks of life gather and had their activities there. Priests, traders, etc. Hot Spring was thought to be something from God, a holy place. And there is a lake or something, where people from old times throw curses when their goats or belonging got stolen. 

 We also had some spring water to drink in the Pump Room. Yucks. It smells of sulphur!

After we visited the Roman Bath, we caught a train to Salisbury. From Salisbury, we then caught a bus tour to Stonehenge. And we actually carried our huge luggage and backpacks along. Worse when we took a long walk to the station. Haha. Tiring journey.

The bus tour did explain what we see on our way to Stonehenge. We passed by farms, huge piece of green deserted land and some houses. But I don’t really catch the explanation actually.

Stonehenge was crowded with people. Come to think of it, mankinds are actually attracted to pieces of purposeless rocks, just because they are mysteriously placed in the middle of green land. They are just rocks you know. And with these few pieces of rocks, so many myths formed, which is why it became famous I guess. 

We followed the crowd and circled the stones. But half way, we sat down and press the button on our audio guide. It is a good idea to listen to the whole thing first before you continue walking if you are actually carrying huge backpacks like us. LOL. 

The bus took us back to Salisbury, from there, we then took a train to London.
