A trip to Stonehenge and Bath Spa

This is a phase when my life is pacing way faster than ever before and I am somehow managing to catch up with it. I sincerely wish I could have 28-30 hours a day! But then ...

If dreams came true, dear
I'd dream you paradise
A moonlit garden
And stars to match your eyes.....

So, lets face the reality and make the best of the amazing 24 that we have got ! Shall we?

Last few months have been the most busy and hectic time of life and what a wonderful time I had! And now, all I am left is with these amazing experiences to share with you all.... so sit back, relax and keep watching this space for lot of action and drama! ;)

Few weekends back , I made a visit to Bath Spa and Stonehenge , two of the most important places in my wishlist along with few of the most important people in my life : Mom , Papa and Abhay! And a wonderful trip it was! If you ever get a chance to visit United Kingdom , please don't leave this piece of land without paying a visit to these two gorgeous places.... I will update this post with the details as and when I get time. However, I have a train to catch at 6:30 AM tomorrow and I'd better hit the hay...

While I am busy updating this space with my crazy stories and fun facts , these pics will keep you busy :) Hope you'll enjoy it!

Abhay[our local guide for the day :)] took us to the local organic market @ Bath Spa... This place was originally the train station
A scultpure ...found in the local market

Cherry? or Tomatoes? ...that's right :) Cherry Tomatoes
It feels so fresh to see fresh veggies these days...and by the way those are carrots :) Cream?? I know!!
Beauty in a jar ...
:)
What an interesting shop! The name says it all :)

We ate , drank and enjoyed!!

My customized salad.... Mom relished hers before I could take picture :-/

Two sweethearts @ Lacock village
Give me few days and I will update you about these tiny little plants.....
(Update : Laccock is probably the cutest village I have ever seen! What you see in the picture had left me completely surprised. They had left these plants for sale unattended outside. If you are interested to buy any, you simply pick one and put money in the money jar... Each sapling is for a pound. Yes! They trust you blindly :) While we roamed around , we found several homes where the goods were kept in open outside and a money jar was placed next to it with a request note. How cute is that!)

So Britishy....

Harry Potter's house... I am not kidding :P You got to google 'Lacock Harry Potter' :)

A new member in our guided tour !
Ah! I wish I could spend a full day in this beautiful village

Maar Diya Jaaye?? ;)

A British Pub ...

Yes , noted! I need to explain this as well...please stay tuned and bear with my pace :)
(Update : Have you heard about river locks? They are simply devised to enable boats to travel at different elevations in between land masses. So basically you bring the boat to the water level and allow it to move forward (Read more about it here ) .What you are seeing in the picture is series of 15 locks and it almost takes 7-8 hours to reach from the topmost level to the lowest one) Fascinating!

Mystic Stonehenge !
Too busy listening to the Audio Guide...Huh?

Lost in nature :)
Let the game begin!
Papa giving his perfect shot ....

The fascinating Roman Baths
Let it burn ... Till it fades away
The view from the place where Abhay spent few crucial years of his life @Bath Spa

Mommy with the Greek Goddess?? :D
