Windsor is Fantastic, Stonehenge is BORING. Oxford is Magical

After having also taken the hop on hop off bus and seen amazing sights like Albert hall, big ben, Shakespeare globe, etcetera. I decided that the next day I should take a day tour of Windsor, Oxford and Stonehenge.

I signed up and joined the tour where I met Lauren, a nice teenage girl who had travel to London with her dad and was currently taking tours while her dad worked. She was funny and great company on the tour. 

We began tour toward Windsor, We saw the castle and I fulfilled my bucket list item of taking a picture in front of the castle. It was truly excited, not to mention it feels like entering all those childhood stories of dragons and kings and queens. Very exciting. 

Afterward was Stonehenge.... it was....BORING. Seriously! I was very disappointed, I expected it to be this place where mystery envelops you and you feel like maybe something extraordinary did happen there. 

But no... it was stones, yes they are cool and interesting but they don't even let you go near them. And yes I understand having millions of tourist stepping on the stones would cause mayor destruction but WHY is it that this place is so famous? sure it can be a great picture background and that is cool, and yes they are a mystery but there isn't any excitement. I truly wouldn't recommend anyone wasting they're time on this especially when so many other places are waiting to be discovered. 

so enough about boring, lets get to the magic! Oxford is pure magic. Its years of knowledge pouring in to everything you see. The rustic buildings, the story's the Hogwarts based sections. its all so much fun. Not to mention that atmosphere that is palpable in every step you take there. Perhaps its a question of perspective but I would much prefer to see a place with story than stones with no story known at all, hey thats just me, stop reading this blog if you feel insulted by it.

I do confess Stonehenge inspired a few stories in my mind. maybe it wasn't such a waste after all.
