Stonehedge, Shakespeare and Surfing






After a long drive from Bruges to the Chunnel and a few hiccups at customs getting back in, we arrived back into cold raining England.





Despite the wintery weather in summer, we were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the countryside in South England, which reminded us of home. On our way through the countryside we had to stop to see the famous Stonehedge. We camped out on the roadside that night to ensure we were there to see the sunrise over these mysterious ancient stones. 











Onto Staford Upon Avon where Tim was excited to see where Shakespeare once lived and to see a shakespearean play in his home town. We were lucky enough to be in town at the same time as the Heritage Week, so we got an all round tour of areas not normally open to the public, all for free!






After being absent from the ocean smells and sounds we headed onto Cornwall in chase of some much needed surf. We got some small but fun waves. Despite it being an English summer the water was relatively cold, however Tim warmed up easily with a traditional 'Cornish' pastie.




After tidying up the van and preparing ourselves for the last part of our European adventure, we headed back towards London to say goodbye to Snowflake and start the next leg of our journey home to Bali.
