Windy roads and countryside

Yesterday I had a pretty low day.  After walking ten some odd hours the day before my lungs hurt and my cold was getting the best of me.  I was up from 4-8 am because I couldn't sleep, ate breakfast then headed back to bed and woke up at 11 when the cleaning people came in to do the room.  Ahhhh sleep glorious sleep!  I wandered down to the pub and sat there for a bit and researched what I want to do in Scotland when I get there.  Had another nap and woke up up 7....oops.  But still mananged to get to bed at 10:30 and slept the night :)

Today started at 6:45 am.  Got up and ready and down for breakfast.  I am getting the hang of this hostel thing.  I only dig into the depths of my backpack once a day if possible.  As everything needs to come out in order to get a new outfit for the day and everything has a particular order it needs to go back in.  I have learned to have your pjs under your pillow as not to wake sleepy hostel guests when you come in the room past 8 pm as someone is always in bed at that hour.  I put a pair of socks in my runners in case I want to wear those, other then that I wear flats or flip flops around the hostel.  A flashlight is always kept nearby as well for ease of navigating the room in the dark.
So bad to today....Ater breakfast and hit the road by 7:45.  I had a bit of a walk down to where Anderson tours was picking me up for the day.  Hit the bus at 8:25 and after one more stop it was off o Stonehenge.  I thought Vancouver drivers were bad....London is 1000 times worse.  If driving on the other side of the road isn't disorienting enough they fly down the smallest streets and weave in and out of other drives in the way...all while cars are parked along both sides so there isn't much room in the first place.  Add pedestrians and bikes and you've got disaster waiting to happen.  However we survived like they seem to every day.
Once we got to Stonehenge we had an hour to walk around the stones and listen to our audio guides.  The sun came out so it was perfect for pictures but it was sure windy and a little chilly!
We then had an hour bus ride into Bath.  What an amazing little city!  So beautiful and picturesque...and the windy roads and autumn countryside on the way even more so.
After a quick driving tour around the city we went in to explore the Roman Baths.  A very interesting part of history!

We then had 2 hours to eat lunch and explore the town.  We walked along the busy streets but everything is very quaint and lovable.  It was a lovely break from the chaos of London.  I adored Bath!!
Scott and I (one of the guys I met at the walking tour he other day) walked around to see the Cresent and Circus which are two stunning pieces of arcitechture before walking down the main street to a lovely little place for lunch.  I had an awesome ceasar salad and veggie spring rolls which was a nice change from the cereal, bread and pizza I have been eaten but cost me a good 21 pounds!
We wandered back to the coach for our 2 1/2 hour drive back to London.   I managed to get a little nap in on the way after a busy day.  I was dropped off at Victoria station and found my way back to the hostel.
I finally figured it out without getting lost :)
And now tomorrow I leave for Sweden to visit Sandra and Niclas.  Sooo excited to see them!!
I'm also pleased the internet is working in the pub tonight.  Some of the hardcore internet users must have checked out today.
Anyway that's it for now.  Pictures to come soon.
Cheerio!
