Trip to Bath & Stonehenge

Joined Exeter Uni. international society for a day trip to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visited the following places:

 

1) revisit Stonehenge, the great, unique and ancient stone circles that evolved between 3000 BC and 1600 BC and is aligned with the rising and setti...ng of the sun at the solstices, but its exact purpose remains a mystery. Many myths about the significance of Stonehenge, it may have been an astronomical observatory or used for sacred rituals. (Previous album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=191588&id=757132962&l=9d0275f7fe )

2) City of Bath (source: www.bath.co.uk): recognised as world heritage site due to its Roman remains, 18th century archictecture+town planning and social setting. Also the only city in Britain with natural hot spring, but didn't go in due to long queue and expensive entrance fee. Visited the Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Abbey, & Pulteney Bridge.
