The play was really quite bizarre, a kind of philosophical murder mystery, with some on-stage nudity. Something for everyone. After the play we walked around, this is the famous statue of Eros. |

Day 6: Stonehenge... eventually. This is Waterloo station, where I am about to catch a train to the South of England. The train goes to Basingstoke, where I have to change trains to Salisbury, before getting a bus to Stonehenge. This was a big adventure for me since I went alone. Nobody else was crazy enough to go. I can't blame them. |
I'm on the train. |
We arrived at Basingstoke about 30 minutes behind schedule. I am shocked to find that the Salisbury trains are running on an emergency schedule because of structural damage to a bridge so the next train won't be for well over an hour. Without anything to do for an hour I decide a better name for Basingstoke would be Boringstoke. At least the train comes early so I can sit on the train. |
A full five hours after leaving the apartment I arrive at Stonehenge, where it is pouring rain. Luckily I had an umbrella. I had to take a bus from the Salisbury train station and I had 40 minutes at Stonehenge before the last bus was scheduled to go back to Salisbury and I didn't want to miss it. |
