Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But...

So Yibsy is in Bath with me today (say hello Yibsy!!!), and we - me, her, Mon, Yang, Lucas and Isa - decided to venture forth to visit Stonehenge in Salisbury. We took a tour van with Scarper Tours, and paid around 12 GBP for the tour and 4.40 GBP for entrance fee to the Stonehenge itself. Overall I'd say it was a worthwhile trip, because while Stonehenge did not make me want to get down on my knees and drop my jaw in awe, it was still something I had wanted to do since like forever, and it was special to have experienced it with every one of them. So. :) Pictures follow!

Stonehenge as we approached it - kind of dark and grey against the same-colored sky


Everyone was snap-happy despite the dreary weather

We had audioguides which explained the history of Stonehenge, but I was so cold I was half-listening and half-shivering all the time.Closer-up, the stones were maybe about one-and-a-half storeys high, and were very worn down. This Stonehenge we see is only half of the original structure that remains.
All around Stonehenge is grassland. Wide open grassland. In 1996 a crop circle was discovered in the field adjacent to Stonehenge (in the direction I'm looking toward), and was never explained. Coooool huhhh
Eh apparently Merlin and King Dunnowhatshisname are buried here, according to popular myth. Yibs looks pleased to know that.
Us twins :) It was special to be at Stonehenge together, yes it was.Mon and Lucas, who is a 3rd Year BBA student at Bath - we met him through my sis, who has many mutual friends with him. Funny guy, that dude. Yang and Isa - I thought this photo was quite funny because they are both posing and trying to look all masculine and shit here.And finally, a picture of the happy two. :)

Too bad I'm falling sick, thanks to the chill I caught at Stonehenge + waking up at 8am + sleeping at 3am + my weak knee. Boooh. Someone bless these knees! May they not fail me. And my nose, too. Jeez.
