7 Wonders of The World

Just came back from visiting Stonehenge yesterday with my coursemates. It is located in Wessex, part of central-southern England on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. They rented an MPV with exactly 9 seating of us. Left about 11pm. It's a 5 hours journey. Temperature was dropping critically fast as the we reached our destiny. I'm possible it went below 10 degrees as we can see smokes rising as we breath.

Surrounding stonehenge is typically empty grasslands, very similar to the roads we encountered in Scotland. Up in the sky, it was crystal clear with twinkling stars..a sight you can hardly find anywhere. But the weather is cold that we have to hide in the MPV for heat till the next morning. There is an entrance fee of 3.80 pounds if we entered after 9am. However, we were running short of time as we wanted to go to Bath as well to have a look at the famous..well, baths and spas..most precisely, the Celtics and Romans. Took as much photographs as possible from the outside view (the entire stonehenge is surrounded by fences). Up at the entrance, there is machine to create stonehenge shining coins for 1 pound so I paid one to bring 1 back as a souvenir.

Arrived Bath about 12pm. They charged a fee of 11 pounds for entrance and we didn't think it was worth it as we were really running short of time. Gotta return the MPV by latest 5.30pm. If not, the car rental company would charge us 1 more day of rental. Had a walk around the city while snapping pics.

Traffic was moving slow at certain places in the highway as we tried to make our way back by 5.30pm but the possibilities are pretty low. In the end we finally made it back to Liverpool at 6.30pm but we were an hour too late. The car rental shop had already closed. Nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately enough, next morning Soon said there seemed to be some technical glitches in the agreement or something like that therefore we didn't have to pay for the extra day charges. LOL thank god.
