Blogs from Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England, United Kingdom, Europe - page 5

There's nothing like standing in a windy field with about 300 other people staring at some rocks except Stonehenge. Nice if they had finished it and put up a roof but otherwise I give the English an 'A' for effort. Hauling these rocks 384km from the coast was obviously the original 'Rock & Roll' so I imagine it was the thing to do on a Saturday night back in 3000BC. Unfortunately, no matter how drunk you get, pushing a big rock for a 1000 years will tire out even the most hardcore 'rockers' so I really can't blame them. After our pilgrimage to 'the henge', we wanted to check out Bath, because apparantly there is a massive one of those there, (the English are renowed for their imaginative names) Unfortunately, a really big traffic jam finished ... read more

In late August, I have been Stonehenge and Cambridge with my primary schoolmate, Ester, and her husband. How lucky I was in catching up the couple during their first-ever trip to Europe. Stonehenge is one of the must-go attractions in UK and I have been admiring to go there since I was young. We first arrived in Salisbury, a cozy little town, by an hour train ride from London, than took a bus to Stonehenge. Though Salisbury is a stop-over place, but it is worth visiting.

Jay and I have been looking forward to seeing Stonehenge for years. I'd been telling my art appreciation students about the history of the place - there were actually three different versions (formations of stone) in history and a wooden version (Woodhenge) before that. I felt like a bit of a fraud telling people about a place I had never seen. We now had our chance. The rolling hills of around Stonehenge have so many shades of green. Some of the fields are planted with barley and wheat. Small herds of sheep and horses dot the countryside. The stones looks huge and looming from the road. We followed the sign and pulled into the parking lot. There were tour buses and people standing around, blocking the parking lot. We waited in line to pay the entrance ... read more
