Our day tour out of London

We decided to take a day tour out of London the Sunday we were there (28 October 2007). We visited Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath all within the day. Loved it, though it was drizzling/ raining at certain parts of the day.

Windsor Castle, the weekend residence of Queen Elizabeth II. Loved the place. Very well maintained. Better than the Versailles. Very aristocratic and "breeetish!"

This house was just outside the Windsor Castle. Our Scottish tour guide for the day told us to check out this house. A good photo opportunity she says!

Off to Stonehenge we went. This place kinda intrigued me. Loads of theories about these stones. The initial stones were brought from Wales they say which was like really far away. Well, we got the book about Stonehenge, but I have yet to read it!!
Was telling Shirley that we don't really need to take photos as they have this as a background picture on the windows os on our computers at work!

Notice anything about the stones?? Anyone smiling at you?

Smiley face?

We then went off to our last stop. Bath. Specifically we visited the Roman Baths. Apparently, the Romans used the baths here when they were here a very long time ago. We could still see the steam from the baths today. Still warm. Unfortunately, the water is dirty as they have not treated it, but I hear the water is directed to a commercial spa/bath down the road.
