Stonehenge & Bath

Friday

Yesterday, we headed to Stonehenge and Bath.  This was something that was definitely on my bucket list while in London, so what better time to do it than when Nada was here?  We had to get up super early (5:30) to get ready and be at the bus station at 8:00, so we were super happy to see that there were only 20 people on our massive coach bus, which meant we got to lay down and SLEEP!  It started raining on the way there, so we knew it was going to be a wet day, which made staying in the bus and sleeping all day more and more tempting.

We got to Stonehenge, and it rained the whole time.  It was awesome to see such a piece of history, or lack thereof, but I don't think I would go there again.  It was those "see it once, now mark it off the list" things, but still interesting.

We then had a short bus ride to the city of Bath.  It reminded me so much of Edinburgh with the hills and old buildings.  We had 3 hours there, so we did a bit of sightseeing, fudge eating, cafe drinking action, then took the bus ride back (3 hours) and slept the whole time.  We finished the night at.. THE RAILWAY, shocker!  It was delicious after a long, rainy day

excited faces waiting for our bus!

Saturday

Today, we met up with Nada's god sister in central to go through Borough Market.  This is the oldest market in London and has everything you can ever imagine and it is all super fresh.  We started out the day at St. Paul's and got a bite to eat before meeting her at the market.  There are things to taste everywhere, cheese, drinks, fruit, literally everything.  We got shrimp wraps for a lunch par deux, and I could have rolled out of the market.  We spent a few hours browsing and then went back to see St. Paul's more and go around some shops there.

Now, we are getting ready for dinner and packing up Nada for her NC return tomorrow morning.  I cannot believe how fast this week has gone by, and am so sad to see her leave!  On top of that, I am getting a sore throat, sure sign that a slight cold is going to come, lets hope it's knocked out in 20 days when my parents get here! xoxo

rabbit, anyone?
