Stonehenge & Salisbury

Today I adventured west into Salisbury and took a tour to Stonehenge.  Stonehenge was very remarkable and had a lot of history involved!  I was really in awe at how well preserved it was.  It was a bit rainy -- so one thing to note; NEVER FORGET YOUR UMBRELLA.  I didn't - but there were these 4 Japanese girls who did!  Sorry ladies.

After Stonehenge, I took the bus back to Salisbury where I got in by train from Farnbourogh.  This medieval town was AMAZING.  One of my favorite.  It had cute landscaping and above all an awesome medieval cathedral that I fell in love with.  The cathedral is the tallest in the UK and 4th tallest in the world; next to the gothic cathedral in Koln (another one of my favorites).  I took an abundance of pictures of this place but it was well worth it.

I then experienced my first of MANY train delays of about 30 minutes which then caused me to wait an additional 45 minutes on my train change.  UGH!  Was only supposed to be an hour and 5 minute train back and forth and both there and back was almost 2 hours plus.  Not impressed so far with the UK train system (although I fully understand how it works at least unlike England residents who are asking me in their British Accents where the train to Waterloo is)  I must look like a local already!!

I bought a train pass for Farnbourogh to Aldershot - for the next 30 days.  We'll see how this goes.  First day of work is Tuesday!
