Friday was a beautiful day and we set out for Salisbury and Stonehenge. This was Neil’s first visit to the stones, and he was quite impressed. I definitely thought the tourist arrangements were better than the previous time I visited (1989) and the free audio guides added a lot to the experience. It was sunny and windy—isn’t it always windy on that bare hill?
Salisbury – a typical old town. Handy central car park, with inns around it where lunch was obtained and I got the first batch of photos developed, printed and put on CD…that’s how I can show them to you now! If you would like to see all of them, check my 2005-09 album at http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/barbcollishaw/. We went to see Salisbury Cathedral, one of my favourites, but ran out of paid time in the parking lot, so couldn’t linger. Too bad!
We returned to Marwell and packed up our stuff, for it was our last night there. We had a light supper in the bar, Zanzibar, and paid our week’s bill.
No worse than we expected, and all things considered, quite a good value. By Friday night, the families are coming in for Saturday weddings. There were lots of folks in the bar and some boys running up and down the fire escapes, making lots of clanging noises, but they settled down in time for us to sleep. We had to sleep fast, of course, to get up at 3 a.m.
