Day 16 – Winchester

Well yesterday I bought a nice scottish woolen scarf and today the icy winds arrived.
Today we head to Winchester via the long way, and the first stop is the Avebury barrow, a earth barrow that would be at least 20 meters high quite amazing to see in a flat field.
Next is Stonehenge, the icy wind is blowing as we make our way around the henge and I am glad to have my new scarf on. Lots of people are also doing the anti-clock wise walk around the stones, audio guide to ear.
A warming cup of coffee and a bite to eat later and we are on the road to Winchester, the hotel is found and after settling in we are off to check out the cathedral. The cathedral was started in 1070 and amazingly most of the cathedral is still intact, there is also the 12 century bible to have a look at, I can only compare it to the book of keels very impressive.
Tomorrow we are off to Brussels, bye bye Britain, hello Europe.
