Since arriving in the UK every week has brought on many new experiences. So far after being here I have seen sights such as the Tower Bridge and Big Ben, I have been on the London Eye, and I have been able to experience many festivals going on in the center of London. On top of this, last week I was lucky enough to get tickets for a trip to Stonehenge and Bath with three other students. The trip started off with waking up at 6 in the morning to catch the tube to the Kensington campus where would board 3 buses with other students. After a long and bumpy bus ride we finally arrived in the first location which was Stonehenge. This was such a sight because we were able to see a very famous historical sight in England. While we were there is was also interesting to hear how it is still a mystery of who actually built this stone circle. Being at Stonehenge was such an amazing experience because we were really able to take in the beauty of the landmark because we were so secluded in the open field where lambs were roaming around.
Bath was one of my favorite parts of the trip. It was such a relaxing and beautiful city, where beautiful music filled the streets. Bath is extremely famous for its Roman Baths, the public bath house was a place where people went to socialize and do business, as well as getting clean. Many people thought that this natural hot spring was spiritual so people from all over the world would come to visit in hopes of their wishes coming true. At the end of our tour we were even able to drink some of this “spiritual water” which was an experience in itself. Overall this trip we took was great and I learned so many things about these historical places and was also able to explore around new cities. This a trip I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting London to take.
