So, yet again, I have failed to update this thing regularly, but it has been just insane these past couple of days. Mainly classes and the like have been hectic and I have my first presentation that is due on Monday, which should be interesting. Anyways, did a tid bit of traveling this week. Jess and I had classes cancelled for Development 1003 this week, so we took advantage of going to Windsor, Bath, and Stonehenge on Thursday.
Thursday was crazy, prior to even getting on the bus to the places! We all started off late, leaving Colindale around 6:55am and then made it by the skin of out teeth to the stop where we thought we would get picked up, only to find that since we never called the place, they weren't stopping there. We then needed to figure out how to get to Victoria station where the coaches were going to be leaving from. So, we made it there and everything was good from that point on.
We first went to Windsor Castle which was really cool. It is the out of town residence of the Queen and where Prince William and Harry lived when they were boys. It was a very quaint British town. It was kinda cool to see how massive the place is, and how it has varied over time. It started out as a section and then has been added on since then. I'm not sure it would be worth making a special trip there, but it was actually cool to see it. It also had the Queens guards and we were able to see the changing of the guard, which took a long time and had way too much music, probably lasts about half an hour, give or take a few.
The next place was Bath, home to the famous Roman Baths and the famous Bath sandstone that the entire town seems to be made out of. These were actually very cool and was happy that we wound up going there. I really do recommend it and it was very cool to see the place, though we did not get to the try Bath water, which is supposed to be very disgusting but very beneficial. Supposedly it also was able to cure a Princes' leprosey. Crazy stuff.
The next stop was STONEHENGE!!
I was soo excited to see Stonehenge and even more importantly was all the sheep! I kinda wanted to let the sheep roam free and let the sheep wander around Stonehenge, which would have made it a lot better I think. :) Stonehenge was a win for me in my books, but there were some people on the tour that did not like it as much as they thought it would be. I did my little happy dance and paid some tribute to the stones through worship. :) All in all, it was a good little trip, also it was cool to see all the fake "henges" all the way to the place. Ie. Carhenge, Woodhenge, and the like.
We went out to this club last night called Fabric, which was cool, but very expensive. 15quid entrance, but the place was huge! The drinks were expensive too, but this is obviously one of those places where you are meant to be seen, and also to be very casual in dressing. Mika almost didn't make it in because he was dressed "too dressy." Crazy.
And on the way out this week, I send you with a picture of me dancing my way out. :)
