A short little hike up to a waterfall in the Newlands Valley
The Day spent in Bath
BATH, ENGLAND
The picture above shows the Abbey in the center and the Roman Baths and the Pump Room on the right. It is also the meeting place for free walking tours throughout Bath at 10:30 A.M. given by professional guides who volunteer their time to tourists (like you and I) to enjoy our time spent in this historical city. This made a HUGE difference for our experience!!
Bath has beautiful gardens and they are always winning awards about how beautiful they are presented and landscaped. There are little plaques all over the gardens.
Driving around to Avebury, Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral
AVEBURY
This is another location where prehistoric Neolithic pagan stone circles exist. They date back to 2800 B.C. and here in Avebury they are 16 times the size of Stonehenge.
Check out this cute building with the thatched roof top!
I made my husband take this photo - I thought this store was so charming!
A quick stop at Windsor Castle
How cool is it that Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world?! It was the official home of England's Royal family for 900 years!! I seriously had no idea.
For more information about visiting Windsor go here:
London (too many pictures, but yet, not enough)
From Germany we drove to Calais, France to catch the ferry across the channel to Dover, England. We used P&O Ferries (found HERE) to book our tickets ahead of time. I highly recommend doing it before you go, I hear they are double the price if you buy your tickets on site. You don't have to be there on time either like the Chunnel (found HERE), which is why we didn't use it. We booked a time for 13:50 and we could show up 4 hours before OR after our scheduled time. It worked out quite nicely, especially since we missed our appointed time.
Don't forget your passports either - Very Important!
Our first day we visited the Natural History Museum (FREE)
It is absolutely perfect if you have children - our kids LOVED it!
Go HERE for their website.
Next stop: Buckingham Palace
