Saw Stonehenge and Salisbury Catherdral a few days ago. Incredible. Got some great pictures of the country. Stonehenge was a little smaller than expected and it was blocked off once you reached a certain point, but our guide (Russell from the British Museum) said if you make plans and call ahead of time you can visit and actually be in the center of Stonehenge and watch the sunrise (which is about 4:30am)... I may have to look into that.
I went to a bar called Experimental Cocktails where you tell them what you like and they create something for you. It was a pretty cool experience. Afterwards we went to a lounge/club called Home House and it was litterally in a mansion in the middle of a neighborhood. PS (mom)...It was an actual club, in a nice area, nothing sketchy, and I didn't walk anywhere alone. :) I guess clubs in house-like settings are common here.
Yesterday I went to Camden which is a huge market full of shopping. I got a few dresses and some other fun stuff. Borough and Portabello are two more markets I want to go to that the locals recommend
Today a group of us took a trip to Hampton Palace. It was gorgeous and took half the day to walk through. It was a little far, but it ended up being in Surrey (from the Holiday) so I was pretty stoked! Across the street was a food festival so we walked around there and I had a wild boar burger. It was actually really good! We cut it short when it started raining- it's been raining a lot the past few days, but I love it!
Happy Memorial Day! :)
