Day 9 (Sunday): Tour to Stonehenge, Devisers, and Avebury.

Posted in Day-By-Day by Will on May 8, 2006.

Stonehenge is “pretty boring, actually… I mean it’s just a pile of old rocks”, as I overheard one person saying.

Really, it’s not that much… A small gift shop, cafe/food stand, and that’s about it — oh, and Stone Henge itself.
But a big song and dance wouldn’t exactly be appropriate, in my opinion.

This is one heck of an impressive structure, considering it was built well before most modern civilizations were around.

The tour group we (me and Ian) were with ended up leaving two “saffas” (South Africans - in the same vein as Aussies/Kiwis) there, because they hadn’t turned up 10+ mins after we were supposed to have left (we did have 1hr to walk around)

Afterward we went on to wander around at Devisers. Found a castle that the TM didn’t know about… but it was on private property.

Finally we spent a few hours at Averbury, walking around the standing stones there.

Took a bunch of photos, and the weather managed to hold off for the most part.
I’ll put them up sometime soon.

RE the email situation, it looks like people arent getting them properly, and/or can’t respond. So… I won’t be emailing people directly from my pda (which is where I do most of my posting from.).

Also, Since it takes a while to tap out these posts on my pda, it might be a little while between posts (2-3 days maybe), depending on what else is happening.

Best Wishes to everyone.
