We left London at 10 am. We were pleased with ourselves in our ability to leave the city without too much hassle. We drove on the main highway for an hour or so before we got bored of the scenery. We took a left and ended up in Wiltshire. We passed Silbury Hill. It took us by great surprise. It's so obviously man made ~ it rises abruptly from the surrounding fields. Being one of the largest artificial hills in Europe, constructed in around 2500 BC ~ it's purpose being a mystery.
Carrying on until we reached Bath. Bath is a very beautiful city. Very cultured with many artistic and theatrical events happening around you. When you are in Bath the 'must' is of course the "Roman Baths". We were quite taken with it all. The baths give off a very cleansing, relaxed atmosphere, holding hands with history and tradition. A very spiritual place. The displays and models gave you the feeling of the splendor this place once held for the people. Very interesting and enjoyable. once again you could spend a few days here exploring all the sites.
We had to carry on home ~ driving through Glastonbury. We were intrigued with the Glastonbury Abbey and the tor, things yet to explored on another day.
