LONDON DISCOVERY ~ Outside of London

When I was in London, I got the chance to take a Day Trip to Stonehenge and Bath. My first impression was that Stonehenge is quite smaller than expected but I seriously enjoyed it :) It's something I'm happy to have seen ♥ Bath is quite a 'good-looking' city, but let's say that like I've visited lot of different town, I wasn't that "amazed" by it. The Guide was REALLY interesting through ;o



Yep, THE Stonehenge, I saw it ! It was really cold and windy when we were there :o I got soooo cold!! Seriously I was : brrr brr brr ! We were lucky, because we got to see some Druids (they don't go there much ;o) but well it wasn't PANORAMIX at all ! I was so disappointed ! I mean some were wearing jeans and sneakers ><''


We were there before Christmas so we got a Christmas market were we couldn't WALK at all ! This place is really nice ! I loved the look of it ! We saw the old roman bathes (that aren't really roman anymore ^^) and some other things and places, thanks to the guide!


Here is something I learned from the guide. Why aren't these windows? Because in the past, they've got a tax to pay according to the number of windows. So they closed / didn't create them, that way, less to pay! I was so surprised ;o And why now they don't open them? Well because the city is protected and they must NOT change the houses... So it's forbidden to make real windows... XD

Next is Greenwich! I know that Greenwich is still in London, but it's quite farer from the center and all so I put it in there ;o Sadly, we were there only half a day, a friend and me, so we didn't get to see much and it was dark quite fast (well it was december :O). But we did the Greenwich museum in there and it was really nice looking and interesting. But hopefully for us, we had student price, it would have been so expensive without ! You don't get to see the real line if you don't go inside the museum. (I'm not talking about the National Maritime Museum here but about Greenwich one)






The first picture talk about the time in each part of the world. It's so interesting to turn around it and check what time is where ;o The second one amazed me! It's about where it's day and where it's night !! I loved it!

(Above) In the first pic, it's the really a nice view! When we finished, it was almost by night *_* (Under) Awsome~ The green line is the meridian line! The real one! It's so interesting to see it !! *-* Sadly it doesn't look good in pictures...

I don't know if people really are reading my posts but I promised that I would report everything I did (almost) so here I am, doing my best ;o Still one left, the geeky one :o See you next one! And please comment if you read! ♥

PS: I got a new job ♥
