Our first stop off outside of London, after picking up the van from Heathrow airport, was Stonehenge.
It's a hugely popular place to visit and in some ways the "mystic" no longer exists. The monument is smaller than we expected but still impressive. It was a bit breezy while we were there. I have to wonder how our distant ancestors were able to hoist those stones in the winds that blasted across the plain.
Due to some time constraints we opted not to go to Avesbury but I bought a couple of history books about the area. We drove to Devises on the way to Bath and passed our first "unusual" road sign - a picture meaning "caution tanks crossing".
We had issues in Bath regarding finding parking and road works in downtown so we scratched our plans to walk around and headed off to our hotel.
