Finally in London!

Today was another early start to the day for which we got on the road towards London! Although I loved Straford, I was ready to head towards London to see what it is all about. On the way to the President Hotel in London the group and I stopped at The Roman Baths which was more than I expected it would be. The tour consisted of carrying around a cellphone that we were able to punch in numbers to learn about certain areas throughout the building and what each area was back in the Roman days. It was very cool to see what the pools, spas and baths looked like so long ago and just how smart the Romans were. I also thought it was amazing how the springs still produces hot water from the earth as it did hundreds of years ago. I also got the chance to drink the spa water which was/is considered to be healing water and bring good luck. Although the water was pretty warm and didn't taste good at all, I drank the whole glass in hope it will cure the cold/cough I have had since day one of this trip :) And so far, I feel much better.... who knows, it may actually be healing! After we walked around Bath and looked at all the gorgeous views/shops/church's the town had to offer we headed to Stonehenge. It was very clear and sunny during our visit there but it was pretty cold and windy too. The stones were really interesting to look at and ponder how they really got there and stacked onto one another a long time ago. Tomorrow we will embark on a tour around London and later on we will all get to experience another play which I am pretty excited about.
