Stonehenge

Stonehenge has long been on Ian's wish list. Today was the first completely sunny day since we arrived, so we booked tickets online over breakfast and headed out.

We got there at 10:20, 10 minutes before our ticket time and were shocked at how long the queue was! We checked at the counter which queue we should join and it seems that the booked time has no relevance to anything as everyone lines up regardless. You would think a country that's been around as long as England would have learned a thing or two about how to organise stuff! At least we weren't lining up in the rain like at Jorvik.

After getting into the centre, we got on a shuttle bus to the stones. It was quite interesting and it was a nice day for it. We were able to get closer than I imagined we would. I do get a bit put off by the commercialisation of these sites. I guess the worst part of visiting UK in the summer is the number of tourists we are competing with. It was much quieter in winter 2017!Read more
