Day 7: June 15, 2013 - Salisbury, the Best Hot Chocolate Ever, Old Serum, and Stonehenge!

As soon as I hit my pillow last night and freaked out a little about the weird noises, I fell asleep. We woke up at 8:00 and got ready. It was a bad hair day but I sure as heck wasn't going to get in the shower at the hostel. We went down and had breakfast - it was gross. Then we had to wait for people because they didn't know we were supposed to be down at 9:00. We then walked down to the Salisbury Cathedral. We did a tour around the Cathedral with this super smart old lady.





We then saw one of the original Magna Carta's which was pretty cool. It was freezing today, at least in Salisbury, and I had left my jacket at the hostel so we went to find hot chocolate. We walked around looking for a pub or something and landed on Nuggs, a cute little breakfast bakery thing. I got a hot chocolate with Maltezars in it - little whopper things but so much better and whipped cream - SOOO good!



I also got this little shortcake thing with chocolate and caramel and it wasn't very good but oh well. We hung out there for a bit because it was really cold outside then headed back to the hostel to meet up with everyone at 1:30. We got on the bus and drove like 15 minutes to this place called Old Serum. It's an old medieval city/castle thingy. It was mostly just little ruins of walls and stuff but the scenery and background was so beautiful! Definitely one of my favorite places. We were there for a while just taking jumping pictures (That I actually jump in, not like last summer...) and just had the best time.







We got on the bus and went to Stonehenge. It was really cool but I was kind of bummed that we couldn't like go inside - there is a barrier at least 20 feet away that keeps you out so we just walked around it a few times taking pictures at every angle. I like Old Serum better but it was still way cool of course. I got a t-shirt that says "Stonehenge Rocks!" hehehe punny!






We then got on the bus and drove home. I slept the whole time and it was fabulous. We got home and unpacked. We then went down to Waitrose the grocery store and got a bunch of food, including cheese and Dr. P baby! We came home and I started blogging because I had missed a few days... while eating cheese and bread for dinner yum! We got gelato - I got carmello and stracciatella or however you spell it.


I'm finishing blogging now and then I'll probably go upstairs and chill because, shocker, I'm not tired. Oh and I'm pretty sure I sprained my ankle at Old Serum falling in a hole... and Rick has a wrap but he lives all the way downstairs and that's probably not gonna happen. Oh well! Night! Happy Father's Day tomorrow!
