GLS Class of 2015: The London Experience: Weekend Bus Tour

This past weekend a group of us took a bus tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath. Despite freezing cold temperatures the trip was very fun and packed with interesting things to see. Our first stop was Windsor Palace. The Queen happened to be in, but sadly, we did not spot her out and about the castle ( I don't blame her because it was SO cold and snowing). Some things we did get to see at Windsor included Queen Victoria's Doll house and the place of burial of Henry VIII. Next we ventured to see the wondrous stones at Stonehenge. Currently, they are working on a new visitor center and parking area for Stonehenge. When they are complete they will shut down the road that currently runs by it so people will have to walk a little further to see the sight. This is so they can better preserve the stones.

Our final stop of the tour was Bath; the artifacts at the Roman Baths were very interesting. It was also really cool to see the baths themselves and the hot springs that flowed into them. It would have been very easy to spend all day in the cute little town. After visiting the baths we made our way back home to London. It is very hard to believe that I now have only a short four weeks left before I head back to the states.
