Salisbury

The last stop on our tour of the U.K was Salisbury.  We arrived Tuesday afternoon, found the house we were staying at, unloaded and went to dinner.  The room we rented was with a fantastic family in a great location; we could easily walk to the city centre, train station, and there was a little garden out the front door.

Wednesday we got up and headed out to Stonehenge.  While we had great weather, a fun time, and enjoyed ourselves, I don't know if it was everything it was cracked up to be.  The new visitors center is very large with a lot of history about the stones and their potential meaning, but the audio guides don't work for English, and it is kind of loud and therefore difficult to hear what is being said (which is a disappointment).  The location is set back far enough from the visitor center that a bus or tram is needed, or a nice 40+ min walk will get you there.  Overall, we had a good time, but I don't know if this is on the list of things we have to do again.

After Stonehenge we took the bus back to town and walked over to the cathedral hoping to get in to see the Magna Carta.  Unfortunately it was a little out of our price range to get in, and pictures are not allowed, so we skipped going all the way in and walked around taking in other sites along the way.  It was a nice way to end our tour of the U.K and our time together.

Sometimes you just need to go kick rocks

Oh, we own our geekiness better than any others
