Who's that with the audio guide around his neck? It's Super-Tourist

It's the weekend, and you know what that means - time to explore. Today we woke up bright and early to catch our coach which took us to the city of Bath. We got a guided tour of the city from the bus, and then it was down into the ancient Roman baths. I've been there before, but it was still awesome to see how well preserved some of the site is. I wish the baths were still operating, because a nice hot dip would've hit the spot. I haven't had one day of relaxation since I've been here.

After the baths we had some free time in the city to shop. You know me, that's not my thing, but it really is a gorgeous city and it was a great day to walk around outside. I'd almost forgotten what the sun looks like.

Then it was off to Stonehenge. Again, I've been there previously, but that doesn't detract from the sense of wonder one feels when they look at the stones. It really is indescribable - if you ever find yourself in this part of the world, make sure you see Stonehenge. I was there with Deanna and Liz, and to see how in awe they were viewing the circle for the first time, it really made me smile.

As if that wasn't enough (with a 2 hour bus ride each way), when we got back I decided to do another haunted London walk, this time in the historic City of London. So now that I'm scurred out of my mind, I'm going to go to bed. Our bus for Cardiff leaves at 8, so I'll be up at the asscrack of dawn.
