I saw Stonehenge along with our trip to Bath. Bath is a beautiful city mostly built in the Georgian style after the Romans left. It has Roman ruins under the current city. This place is a big deal becuse it is the only place on the UK with a hot springs. Having grown up with a hot springs just down the road and several within driving distance this may not seem like a big deal, but we don't have any thing as old as the ruins.
Today was a travel day full of obstacles. We had just left Oxford and had settled into our seats when the train came to a stop. Apparently there was a maintenance train in front of us that shouldn't have been, then it broke down. They re-routed is and we had to find different trains to Dumfries. Luckily some very nice ladies from Glasgow helped us with this. We made it to Dumfries around 6pm instead of 4:30 as planned. I didn't want to rent a car and learn to drive on the left side of the road today, so we planned to call a cab. All we got was answering machines or cab who couldn't help us for at least an hour. Luckily a very nice couple gave us a ride to our hotel about 10 miles out of town in Clarencefield. Luckily this hotel has a pub and restaurant attached, so we got what we needed and settled in for the night.
Tomorrow I rent a car!
How cool to see Stonehenge! Sorry the traveling has been a nightmare. Hopefully the car will be better!
