London - DAY 2 STONEHENGE

Met up early with Veron and Ken for our long journey up to Stonehenge.


Ken following the direction of the map to Stonehenge. It's pretty easy to go to Stonehenge on your own. The drivers on the highway are very considerate and there's signs along the way to make sure we're on the right track
A rare moment of clear blue sky in UK!
Visitors coming to UK usually comment on the dreading and rainy weather here.After 2hours of driving (Poor Ken have to do all the driving...kekeke), we finally saw road sign indicating StonehengeAnd there it is!! Right in the middle of nowhere...
Ken parked his car just beside this cute looking car and Moi just can't resist taking a photo of it!The stones were roped off in 1977 as a result of serious erosion. Visitors are no longer permitted to touch the stones but merely walk around the monument from a short distance.
Moi came across a group of protesters lobbying outside for the release of stones.
They must have been here for a pretty long time then...Since 1977?The ticket price are:
Adult: £6.50
Children:£3.30
Car park: £3 (refundable on admission into Stonehenge)

You will receive an audio player upon admission into Stonehenge. Located around the trail of Stonehenge are number cards. When you passed a number card, press the number on the audio player and a voice will give a short explanation of the different area ard the stones.
Super convenient!

Veron & moi listen attentively to the audio player :PBEFORE: This is how Stonehenge look like before everything comes tumbling down
AT PRESENT: Yesh, alot of the stones had eroded or collapsed over time
A togetherness (threesome?!?) photo
Weather changing rapidly from bright and sunny to dark and gloomy
Check out the dark clouds looming in a distance.
Time to move on to our next destination, BATH which is prolly another hour drive?

Moi touching the stone for good luck mabbe?
That was before i realise that Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings
*faint*It took moi four years (all the planning and then things don't go as planned and blah blah blah) to finally come to Stonehenge..
No... THANK YOU!!! for restoring this wonderful ancient monument.

Did you mention that you consider whether to carry one of the stones back to Singapore to serve as a coffee table at home? *faint*
