Stonehenge...

I'm here.
Strange thing.
They are impressive. There is nothing around (apart from two noisy roads) and it's quite interesting. I wonder what did the Gods tell people to convince them to build this.

It was an interesting trip. The GPS lost the way again and tried to make me go into the middle of nowhere. On the other hand now I am much more comfortable with the curves and everything so it was a successful road trip. I did 85 miles in 2.5h, damn, the traffic was rubbish but because I said shortest route and no motorways, it put me through some beautiful countryside.

It's not a very nice day, complete cloud cover so I don't think the pictures will be any good but still, it's an excuse.

It's quite crowded here, loads of tourists (and me) and A303 loud and clear only a couple of hundreds of meters away so it's not really peaceful but I can still hear a lot of birds chirping which is very nice.

I wonder... Priests, Shamans, Medicine men and XXX... They hold too much power over people, these stones are a clear demonstration. After 3-4 thousands of years, they are still here standing whereas the idiots who commandeered this thing are all dead, turned to earth and dust. Good ridden.

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday and it's almost 2pm now. I think I'll take some more pics and head back home.
