We drove our visitors past Stonehenge on Saturday morning. We wanted to get to the town called Bath and the road goes within a few hundred yards of Stonehenge.
We made it to Bath, but I messed up a little bit. I put "Bath" in google maps, which would be like putting "London" in the search. It took us to a strange back alley and it cost us about 20 or 30 minutes of driving in circles. So I updated the search to Roman Baths, which is exactly where we wanted to start, and then we were much better off.
We watched some Cricket, then walked over to the baths. The bath are great, I'm always amazed by the engineering that has lasted thousands of years.
Bath continues to be a very musical town too. We saw at least 4 street performers and all of them were great. It's hard not to stop and enjoy their performance for awhile. One of them had a Frank Sinatra type of sound and he played trumpet too, so we enjoyed his performance a lot.
Our guests were very kind to watch our daughters for the night so that my wife and I could go on a date. We googled "most romantic restaurants in London", made reservations and popped over to a place called Beach Blanket Babylon. It's in the very nice neighbourhood of Kensington, so we used trains, tubes and buses to get there. We had lots of great conversation and had the rare opportunity to really talk and just he together. It was great and the food was some of the best we've ever had. It was so good, we ordered a third main course to share, which we had never done before and even the waiter was surprised by that move :)
