Once we hit English soil we drove south. We had picked up a book on B&Bs, and headed for one not far from Stonehenge. Unfortunately it had no vacancies so we spent an unexpected hour or so exploring narrow roads and small towns before eventually finding a bed for the night.
We saw Stonehenge on the news. It hadn't occurred to us that we were visiting it right on the summer solstice! Instead of spending ages looking for a bed we could've joined hundreds of people at Stonehenge for the celebrations and slept in the car for the night.
We had our own individual commentaries as we walked around. There must have been hundreds of people, but it still felt amazing to see those huge rocks that have been there for thousands of years. And a third of each rock is underground. What an incredible achievement it was all those years ago.
This angle shows some of the arches the sun shines through - a different one every month.
We have spent a couple of days meandering our way towards the Norfolk Broads, staying in small country towns with no access to wifi.
We have passed houses with thatched roofs and gorgeous village pubs, and stopped at one or two of them! Tomorrow we pick up our boat and begin our next adventure. Not sure how much wifi we'll find, so blogs may be a little sparse for a couple of weeks.
