BRITISH ISLES #1

Arrived in London Friday the  13th ,  then train immediately  to Bath, where we have a lovely B & B near the city center. Toured the town, including the historic Roman Baths  on Saturday.  Yesterday we took a full-day tour of Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circles,  Lacock (  Harry  Potter  village  ) ,  and  Castle  Combe  (  England's  most  beautiful  village  ) .  The  cows  are  happy ,  as  are  the  sheep ;  wouldn't  you  be  if  you  had  all  those  lush  fields  to  graze ?  Canola  is  a  very  profitable  crop  and  we  saw  huge  fields  in  full  golden  bloom .  It  was  a  long  day  ,  got  to  see  a  lot  of  the  countryside ,  and  definitely  got  our  money's  worth !  Tomorrow  we  get  our  rental  car  &  have  our  1st  experience  negotiating  the  roads  of  England  -  -  destination  :  Land's  End ,  the  south  western  most  point  of  the  island ,  on  the  Atlantic .
