European Grand Tour continues..2016: Chapter two begins...Across the Irish Sea 04/27/2016

We left Shannon with regret that this portion of the trip ended, but are looking forward with anticipation as we board Aer Lingus for our nonstop flight from Shannon to London. Upon arrival we picked up our rental car and headed to Newbury. Some of you may have heard of this village. It was a backdrop for the British T.V. series Downton Abbey. After lunch we headed to Bristol, checked in our hotel, off loaded our luggage, and headed for Stonehenge. This is a prehistoric monument that is located in Wiltshire, England. The estimated time of construction was around 3,000 to 2,000 BC.
Yesterday we spent our time at the most popular tourist attraction in Ireland (the Cliffs of Moher) and today we are at the most famous site in England. Tomorrow we will go back in history and tour the Roman baths in Bath, England and head into the Cotswold Mountains for the rest of our trip. Join us then.
