Europe - Bath and Stonehenge

Bath is one of my favorite cities that I got to experience on this trip. The city itself was beautiful and so historic that I fell in love in the four short hours we were there. My last day in Europe my friend Eva and I took a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath. Unfortunately for us, on the bus ride out of London the rain that had been holding off for the last two weeks decided to pour down on us. Being at Stonehenge is incredible but being at Stonehenge in the freezing rain when you are dressed for a sunny 70 degree day is miserable. Needless to say we took the shuttle to the site, ran as close as we could get, took a picture, took a selfie and sprinted back to the warm bus. When we got back to the visitor's center, hot pastys and hot chocolate were exactly what the doctor ordered. We then got back on the tour bus and made our way towards Bath. The views on the way were incredible. It was so beautiful and picturesque I don't know how anyone lives there and doesn't just sit and stare out the windows. Once we got to Bath we ran to Primark to stock up on some cold, dry clothes. Since was my last opportunity to do some Primark shopping I kind of lost it. Our next stop in Bath was the Jane Austin center, one of my favorite authors. After that we just wandered around the town, grabbed some lunch, and listened to the numerous musicians playing on the street. While some say Stonehenge is a bit underwhelming make sure you add Bath as a list of cities to see while in England. It was a short trip from London and definitely worth it!
