Our Guests' first full day in England without the need to go to an SCA event, so what should we do? Well since we figured we were all exhausted from the previous day's activities and our Guests still neeeded time to recover from their travels, we slept in a bit. Grabbed a bit of cereal for breakfast and then headed out leisurely for
Avebury.
Before actually getting to the stone circle we stopped by the West Kennet Long Barrow. This is a neolithic burial mound.
We'd opted for a beautiful day for this trip and spent a little extra time soaking up the sun and the view from the Barrow before moving over to the Stone Circle.
As always, Avebury impressed.
Since this was the first time David and I visited when it wasn't raining or drizzling we felt free to explore a little further than the previous routes we had taken. David lead us off by doing his Rocky Balboa impression once he'd reached the top of one of the mounds which surrounds the site.
After which we walked the path that surrounds the circle.
Peace and contentment at the view to be seen seemed to be the order of the day.
Having enjoyed our tour of Avebury we headed toward the Cherhill White Horse for a quick peak of the chalk horse in the daylight.
A very good day all in all.
