The train ride was nice, our first glimpse of the English countryside. As we glided along the tracks, we talked and dozed. I opened my eyes and looked out the window to see at which terminal we were stopped. Wake up, this is our stop! We jumped off and headed towards the center of town. We found a bike shop that rented mountain bikes and started our 9km bike ride through rolling English countryside to Stonehenge.
Everyone told us that the hype was much more moving than the actual rocks, but it's one of those things you've got to see for yourself. After seeing the 5000 year old rock arrangement, we all agreed that in this case, the journey was just as good as the destination. We really enjoyed the scenic ride and were very happy we did it. We hadn't gotten to the bike rental shop until just around lunch and we have to have the bikes back by 5:00 p.m., so we had to pick up the pace a bit on the way back. 
We rolled into the bike shop at 4:55 p.m! I hate being on a deadline when I'm on vacation!So, today's a new day and we're off to see a little more of London itself. We're not sure how much longer we'll stay in England, we'll see how today goes and if we are moved to head towards France yet or not.

I hope that you had a steak! That would be soooo cool to get a steak at the birth place.
Too bad you could not take some Raven's Nest coffee with you. Hope you guys enjoy yourself. We are living an adnveture through you!

getting lost. . . taking the scenic route, it's all the same thing! Thanks to everyone for the posts and I'm keeping my eye out for an internet cafe (not as plentiful in Paris as in London) that will allow me to post pictures. Thanks for following our travels!
