Today I'm heading out for a day trip to Windsor castle, Stonehenge, Lacock (medieval village) and Bath. It turned out to be a very busy day starting at 4:30 AM so I could catch a bus from the Flat in Addison Gardens to Victoria Coach Station (London's Greyhound depot) to meet the tour bus.もっと詳しく

Windsor Castle
2017年1月26日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F
We journeyed from London to Windsor, the sometime home of the queen. Apparently she spends the winter months at her private residence. It is one of the oldest occupied castles in the world and it shows as it is very well maintained. Tremendous power and wealth was consolidated here which the castle and its content demonstrate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Castleもっと詳しく

Stonehenge

It was interesting to hear the history of Stonehenge and the Salisbury plains. Some of the first stones were from glacial activity. The plains didn't support trees well so it as perfect for hunting and gathering which made it popular with the early people. Interesting place with several sites I would have liked to have time to visit. I'd highly recommend it for a longer stay on a summer day as it is quite unique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehengeもっと詳しく

During our journey from Stonehenge to Bath we stopped in Lacock which is a medieval village that has remained mostly unspoiled from its long history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacock We had lunch at The George Inn, a traditional English pub http://www.georgeinnlacock.co.uk/ which made for an interesting stop on our way to Bathもっと詳しく

From Lacock we travelled to Bath, were the Romans built traditional Roman baths on the site of a natural hot springs. More interesting was the commentary from our Tour guide about the history of Bath and its nature as the "Las Vegas" of its time in the 1800's where the rich and famous would bring their families to vacation and marry off their daughters for wealth or power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Baths_(Bath) Apparently Jane Austen's life was linked to Bath and the society there during her time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Austenもっと詳しく

Back to Isabella & Ed's Airbnb flat for the night. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/11290436

It was a very long day and I had a great day seeing the sites though. I need to pack to fly out to Edinburgh. One thing I realized is that I PACK TOO MUCH STUFF. Note to self: Need to start minimizing what I bring on journeys as I typically end up only using less than half of the clothes, computer equipment, etc. that I bring because lugging heavy bags around is not fun especially when you're trying to plan how to get to the airport via walking and the Tube!もっと詳しく

London Heathrow Airport
2017年1月27日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 32 °F
Well figured out that I didn't want to lug my bags through the tube. Uber to the rescue! The fare wasn't too bad and it took me door to door from the Flat to the terminal. The Tube is definitely cheaper though. I arrived much earlier than I anticipated though and waited several hours. Had an macchiato w/two shots & English breakfast then hung out in the airport and at the Aspire lounge. (thank goodness for American Express). Heathrow has lots of shopping venues to explore as well.

Dorstan Guest House

Arrived at my room for the next 3 days. Dorstan Guest House ( http://www.dorstanguesthouse.com/ ) was the lodging I found through the Microsoft Prime account. Its a Victorian family villa in the City of Edinburgh. The room is nice with its own bath and will be a nice spot for my exploration of Edinburgh. It is a beautiful sunny winter day here so I'm going to rest for a bit then head out and explore.もっと詳しく

I took the local transit to the Royal mile ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mile ) and walked up to the Castle, explored some of the shops and activities. Will return tomorrow and explore some more. Sunny but a chilly and a little bit of a wind today so will bundle up more for tomorrowもっと詳しく

Lost in Dalkeith
2017年1月27日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 36 °F
Well, my room is on Preistfield road which is off Dalkeith road. I caught a bus tonight which said it was going via Dalkeith. Big assumption. I ended up in Dalkeith the city. Fortunately the bus driver was helpful and provided directions back on another route. However, I found the taxi stand first, so took a cab back to my guest house. The lesson I took from this was to always check the map AND the bus route.もっと詳しく
