The First Class Travel Blog

From Padstow to Stonehenge

After relaxing a couple of hours in our Rick Stein room, we headed down to the main Rick Stein building and Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant.   You get picture.  LOL.

I had the Lobster Risotto starter while Mrs. SFO777 went with a simple garden salad.

Our mains.

Lobster for Mrs. SFO777...

Pan fried Blonde Ray (aka skate) from Cadgwith, with bearnaise.

 

And desserts of course.

Next morning, a little breakfast before we head off on our 3 hour drive to Stonehenge.

And three hours later, we arrived at the Stonehenge visitor centre.   While it was another gorgeous sunny today, temps had plunged overnight.  Add in a brisk wind and we're looking at wind-chiils in the 20's and even teens Fahrenheit.

I froze my butt off waiting in line for tickets...

... while Mrs. SFO777 waited patiently in the warm restaurant... in no hurry to venture outside.

After buying gloves for both of us and a hat for me in the Stonehenge Gift Shop, we headed for the shuttle bus.

And fhe 5 minute drive to The Rocks.

Mrs. SFO777 freezing for the photo opp telling me to "hurry up, take your pics and let's get outta here".  LOL.

We may have set a new record for the shortest visit to Stonehenge, as we raced back to catch the next shuttle returning to the visitor centre. 

OMG... It's a long way from SoCal.

Meanwhile, back on the road.  Hey, we could have seen The Rocks from the highway without getting out and getting cold.   Ha.
