Stonehenge Weekend




Well, Stonehenge itself was fabulous, the weather was OK, and even quite pleasant.
Much to my surprise there also is a Woodhenge. Anyone ever heard of this? No, didn't think so.
Is less than impressive, especially seeing as the wood no longer exists and has been replaced by concrete bollards representing the previous wood. Is really stupid. Not as stupid however, as the 'Mounds' Nobody actually knows what these 'mounds' are, or why they were erected. Google 'Silbury Hill' if you really need to know why the sissy baby poms feel the need to immortalize mounds of man made chalk covered in grass.
Have decided that The Country is a place to visit, but not a place to live. There are no decent restaurants for a start. We went to a place called Tandoori Nights. The chef has never been to Durban and has no idea how to make a curry. The town we stayed in..town? Did I say town?
The street we stayed in may have no cuisine but bloody hell do they have Karioke! Three bars, till 2 in the morning.
Nonetheless, let me not whinge. It was a fabulous weekend away, we ate all the cookies and laughed ourselves stupid.
