Stonehenge/Salisbury

Today we went to Stonehenge and Salisbury. You all know Stonehenge - all I'll say about it is that it's quite impressive.


We spent the rest of the day in Salisbury. We had lunch on our own, then met up for a tour of the Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral was built from 1220-1258, and has the tallest spire in England. They have one of the four existing copies of the Magna Carta; seeing that was amazing.

Afterwards, we had some more free time to roam and shop. I was personally intrigued by a store called "Poundland", where everything costs one pound, and there was some serious American-style air conditioning. (I know it sounds like I'm complaining about the heat a lot, but so is everyone - it's turning into a heat wave, and on TV they are warning everyone about staying hydrated and being sensible.) We bussed on back to the hotel and had dinner there. Right now, we are being "entertained" by a high school prom going on in the hotel.
