Stonehenge on a Hot Day for the European Grand Tour Cyclists


We started our early morning with some interesting tubular Cocoa Puffs after packing up our tents. After this sustenance, we got on the road and enjoyed a few hours of English countryside, cottages, and baby swans.
 When we arrived at Stonehenge, we learned some history in the exhibition building, then watched Andy attempt to pull one of the Stonehenge stones. It was a valiant effort. The shuttle to the stones was brief, so we had plenty of time to view the prehistoric landmark. Our lunch at the cafe was extremely satisfying. Ready to leave, we globbed  on the sunscreen and filled our water bottles. The afternoon ride was hot and difficult, so when we got to the hostel too early to check in, we all took a nap under a tree. The hostel was fantastic, with big rooms, a sun room, and a farm chock full of bunnies, goats, and pigs.
