Day 14

Saturday, May 26 -

We took a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath!


Stonehenge was cool for about 5 minutes. The rocks are huge and some of the theories about their function are hilarious, but you can really only look at them for so long. Plus it was super crowded.


After that we went to Bath, and it was amazing! The city was beautiful and I wish we would have had more time to wander around an explore. We had a mini tour to the inside of the city where the Roman Baths are and then had a few minutes to eat lunch and explore.

The Roman Baths were amazing, too. The spring is, of course, the original spring, but there were also still remains of the original building that the Romans built 2000 years ago.

The Romans thought the water was magical and had healing powers.

After the tour of the bath we got to drink the water. It was super gross tasting and warm and it smelled like rotten eggs. Also, I don't think it has any magical powers because I don't feel any different.
