Bargain – HALF PRICE Patio set

We left Cardiff and drove to Stonehenge. We decided we could fit in a few more sightseeing trips this visit and so joined English Heritage (£57), which on this day saved us £14. We have both been to Stonehenge before and walked amongst the stones but not this time, they are now all roped off. That was disappointing but we did the audio tour which was really interesting.

We had booked into the George Hotel in Amesbury for the night. We wished we hadn’t! Our room wasn’t at all clean and the shower was disgusting, full of mould. Mal put his suitcase on top of the wardrobe and when he got it down it was covered in dust! AND we payed £70 for the pleasure.  We took a walk around Amesbury, there is very little there and so we ended up in The Bell for the evening, where we had dinner and drank several pitchers of Mojito followed by Fireball Cinamon Whiskey liquer, to drown our sorrows!!

Eventually we returned to the Hotel, walking I hasten to add and went to bed. They had a singer in the hotel. We had been told we wouldn’t hear it in our room…oh yes we did! We also heard the car doors banging and all the shouting at 2am when the karaoke finished! Disaster!
