Stonehenge and Salisbury

So, what can I say about Stonehenge. Nothing. The pictures will do the talking. It’s just so grand. So amazing. Just for fun, we were reading reviews on Stonehenge as we were driving and some of it was ridiculous. One reviewer talked only about the cafe – how it was over priced and had bad food. Seriously, it’s a tourist restaurant. Another lady wrote about 8 paragraphs about how dogs were not allowed. She was very upset. People are funny. We had a great time and thought the cafe was wonderful and even thought the gift shop was interesting.

Jevyn did not like the sun

Lots of sheep everywhere.

We decided to break up the drive and stay close to Stonehenge tonight so I found a place in Salisbury. Salisbury steak has nothing to do with this town of Salisbury- that’s an American concoction. Just setting the record straight. What a cute town. I picked this town because it was the only place close to Stonehenge that had room enough for the 5 of us. It’s turned out to be a great find. It’s a medieval cathedral city and, boy, does it have a cathedral. It’s grand and gorgeous. We couldn’t go in as there was a service going on. Actually, we could but Jayden didn’t want to. And the town is so so cute. Again, wish we could just hang out here for a few days.

Cute Main Street
Saw this on our walk and had to take a picture. Must research later.

Our little Three Crowns Hotel. The owner completely renovated this old pub.

The town’s most recent claim to fame is the recent assassination attempt on the Russian double agent and his daughter. The park where they were found was still roped off. There are police officers guarding the park 24/7, 12 hour shifts. Justin even talked up a cute police woman! 😜
