This is the third installment of the Nessy & Elise England extravaganza updates.
This morning we are packing up our stuff and are getting ready to leave Bournemouth, England. We are sad to be leaving Chris, Terri and Andrew, but excited for the adventure that lies ahead. We are renting a car today and driving to Lynmouth, which is about a 3 hour drive northwest of Bournemouth. We are staying at a nice little B&B for three nights. After that we are taking another drive to Bath which is more toward the middle of southern England. We are staying there for 2 nights I believe. Then, next Wednesday we are headed back to Bournemouth to stay a night with Chris, Terri and Andrew again before heading to London! Lots ahead of us, and today kicks off that road trip through England.
We have had a great few days, yesterday we drive to Salisbury and had a nice afternoon drinking coffee and looking at the shops. We then went to see the Salisbury cathedral, I have never seen a more amazing church in my life. It was just breathtaking. The amount of detail in the 400 foot tall cathedral was unbelievable. Pictures don't even do it Justice. I can't imagine what an accomplishment it was for people to build that with such little tools and technology. It was built in the 1200's. We even saw an actual copy of the Magna Carta which was on display at the church. We had a nice lunch at at restaurant called the Lemon Tree and then continued on our way. Next stop was Stonehenge! We had a great time learning the history of the rocks and why they might have been placed there. I had no idea how big the actual rocks were!!! Amazing!!
Last night we then went to a local pub with Chris and Terri called the Curlew. It was a perfect meal after a long day of driving through the England countryside. We had some wine, amazing pub food and dessert! Yum!
Last night when we got home, Andrew and I went to a pub so I could see some of the Bournemouth nightlife! He took me to a place called 60 Million Postcards. A cool little bar not too far form their house. We had a fun time grabbing a drink and chatting. Great music and atmosphere too!
Alrighty well we are off on our little adventure! Here are some more pictures from the past few days!
Cheers!
