The cathedral was beautiful though fairly simple inside I thought. Only a few windows were stained glass and the interior had little color. The setting is an open lawn not like so many that are surrounded by other buildings. Exterior stonework was beautiful and even delicate. The cloisters were lovely as well.
Hot chocolate and a pastry warmed us up a bit. Yum!
Stonehenge was impressive!! They have made the site look more as it was originally which makes the stone look even larger. Bit by bit they are learning more about the construction and history of the area but the WHY is only surmised at this point. It is hard to imagine those early men moving and lifting these huge stones with only primitive tools. It must have been very important to them.
Menzs joined us for this second leg of our journey. It will be fun to have them along on some tours and I'm sure we'll get in a game or two of Hand and Foot!
We are crossing the channel again, along with a time change..this is the third one. We'll do it again after Bruges tomorrow and again after Portland. Hopefully it will stay the same for a while after that!
Someday, I will go to Stonehenge. I know you will have fun with the Menzs.
