Salisbury Travel Blogs

The day had just begun! And today was an important day because I would  be seeing 2 attractions that have a long standing reputation in history, and are fairly close to London and yet had missed them on all these trips. And the other common feature between them both - they're both prehistoric …

I woke up early and walked all the way to the train station before I realized that I had forgotten my rail pass in the hostel!  I was so mad...I ran all the way back and grabbed it, but missed the train I had wanted to take.  Fortunately, the trains left every hour, so I did not have to w…

Then on to Salisbury where we decided with a few others to skip the cathedral and check out the old downtown.  Somebody was with me that day, because we found a small crafts store with the most beautiful hand carved wooden hummingbirds.  I couldn’t pass one up.  I have been collect…

I woke up and packed my stuff early, feeling a little seedy from the night before. Had breakfast and left my stuff with the hostel. I made my way down the street to the meetup point. I'd booked a tour with Mad Max Tours, that seemed fairly laid back and took you to many places. I was starting to re…

The second half of the "London Walk" was a visit to Salisbury. When we first arrived to Salisbury we were given a break to head out and find lunch. The streets of Salisbury are full of character with history that dates back over five thousand years. All along the old cobblestone stre…

Spent a week at Beni's place getting used to England prices & weather (from hot San Diego to gloomy London in a week! I enjoyed the summer weather in the USA but I certainly did not appreciate how cheap America was till I got to England.)Did boring stuff like updated my cv and applied for wh…

I have to say that I absolutely hate playing golf.  I am a really calm guy, but golf brings out the worst in me so I tend to avoid playing.  I've been in combat and remember being alot calmer than I was the last time I played golf.  I first realized that there was something wron…

Portsmouth, Dorset, Arundel, Isle of Wight, Chester, London, and the list goes on...

Today we took a bus up to Stonehenge and Salisbury. While lots of people say they're unimpressed by this "pile of stones," the history that came with it was quite fascinating. What I loved even more though, was the small town of Salisbury. This old style English town is full of charm, and is beauti…

Not planned, but must have been the right timing for us! Before leaving UK and flying for Egypt, we found out it was the Druid's festival for the Summer Solstice! WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

Blog del viaje a Inglaterra en junio-julio 2003. Visitamos Londres y varios lugares del Devonshire y de Cornwell, con ruta hacia el Sudoeste.

Apart from -- The weather~~ The food~~ The accommodation~~ The countryside~~ The people~~ The lanauage... I'm having a great time here!! Haha.. How could I NOT love and enjoy the UK??

Yet another day out with the company. We took the kids to Stonehenge and Salisbury, and while the actual trip was fairly uneventful, I thought I'd at least share some photos.

One winter day my friend and I decided that we would visit Stonehenge. I also thought it would be a good idea to go in the off season (December) to avoid all the tourists. Needless to say it was very cold!

I visited England over my Christmas break and here are some of my photographs.
