London Day 3 - Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Bath
Sunday, 26 April 2009


The choice we made to go on this tour was definitely a great one. The only bad thing about this tour is that the stopover at each destination was way too short for us to fully enjoy every single thing...

Our 1st stop was Windsor castle. I've to say that the castle is gorgeous! I love it to bits. No wonder the queen chooses to stay in Windsor 6 days per week instead of her Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, no photography is allowed within the castle compound and we are only allowed to visit a small part of the castle *sad*

Next, we went to the legendary Stonehenge. It was one of Damus's must visit destination hehee... Well honestly, there ain't much to see except for a few huge stones standing in the middle of a big wide field... But it's amazing to imagine how the ancient people built this without any machinery... hmmm....

Finally we visited the beautiful city of Bath. It was really an astonishing sight when the tour bus drove into the city of bath from the mountains.. It was gorgeous. Everyone in the coach went "ahhh" and "wow"..
