uk flashpack trip - part 2

On 3rd day we decide to join in 1 day tour to windsor castle, stonehenge and roman bath tour. It's on christmas day where most of england is shut down. No public transportation and all store are closed. Rather than do nothing, it's better to go in a tour. However we can't expect much because all tourist spots also closed during christmas. The tour start from victoria coach station on 8.30. It took us 1,5 hour walk from our hotel (yes..walk! Because no public transport and no taxi around during christmas). It took 1 hour to get in to windsor castle. Here we can see windsor palace where queen elizabeth grew up and also eton school where prince william and harry went to school.

Too bad we can only see stonehenge from far because it is closed on christmas, and here are some pic on lacock village and roman bath.

On 4th we explore london. On 26th December also called as boxing day where people go out for shopping. We use Underground (mrt) and walk. We go to london eye, big ben, st.james park, buckingham palace, harrods and paddington. From aldgate east we took circle line to embankment. And we walk along the road from london eye to big ben to st.james park buckingham palace until harrods. In Harrods people already make a very long queu for sale, crazy.. All store around harrods are full with shopper. From harrods we took underground from Knightsbridge underground to paddington to find the bear statue but it's rain so we decide to go back to our hotel.
