Winchester, Jane Austen's Museum, Stonehenge

Yupeee! Road trip!

After having a chat with Jojo, the German girl at our company who is leaving these days and wants to visit a little before that, I was convinced that a visit at Winchester should be great. Ovidiu was interested in a visit like that as well, so the plan was very easy to make.

It was the first time he drove on the "wrong side", but we didn't had any emotions, he managed very well!

So we start our road trip from Leamington Spa and from Winchester Andrea, one of Ovidiu's friends joined us. We took pictures... exactly like the Japanese! Everywhere... For everything!

Winchester was very nice, it's one of the places which tells you that if you'll stay a while, you will never go! Yes! South of England is different that Midlands! It's much more clean, the city has much more green, the houses are looking better.

The first objective was "King Arthur's round table". Actually, they are not sure that Artur even existed, but the legend is nice...

The table is looking like a darts target with a big diameter, 5 meters.

We went to the second objective, Winchester Cathedral. It is the longest cathedral in England, something like 3 in 1. There are lots of graves, Jane Austen's is through them. Probably the most interesting thing were some icons presenting Jesus, Virgin Mary and some of the saints as black persons. I've hear that in Turkey in Cappadocia is the same... weird for me. We also had a creepy music during the walk inside... very scary.

The town is very nice, the streets and the path near the river is looking really good.

We proceed to Jane Austen's Museum, where we didn't stayed long, it was that interesting...

I didn't thought I will make pictures like this in UK, but... here is the evidence: the English cows don't have manners! You can't do that in front of the museum! It's rude!

Stonehenge was the last objective. We arrived there almost at the closing time so we preferred to take some pictures from the fence. Anyway... if you enter the site, you are not allowed to go through the stones, you are restricted at 10-15 meters so it's not such a big difference.

All in all, we had fun on Sunday, I will do something similar again! I have less than one month to stay here... so I'll try to see some more.
