Today we did a bus tour to Lacock, Bath, and Stone Henge. The lady driver, Louise, is such a charming lady and a knowledgible guide. On our way to the first site, Lacock, she pointed out to us various places and told us their histories. She also told us ahead of time what we expected to see at Lacock, Bath, and Stone Henge. Lacock is a small Cotswld village with lots of fetch roof buildings. Man, ain't those fetch roofs high maintenant? They can cost up to �30,000 to replace. Our next stop was Bath, where we spent 3 hours. Louise first drove us around the town and pointed out various sites of interest. Then we went to see the church and the Roman Bath. After that, we just walked around the town ourselves. I don't like Bath very much. It really disappointed me cuz' it is so touristy. So many people and so many shops. It doesn't have the old historical town atmosphere I hope to experience. Since this day was a bank holiday, there was a little festival market and we tried some good garlic fries and French crepe. I guess this is the highlight to Bath :P

After the tour, we ventured out to Picadilly Circle. It was dark and there were lots of people. We were really worry about pick-pockets; so we were on high-alerts. One time we walked by a bunch of guys and one of them started walked toward me. I immediately pulled my sis to walk faster and moved my backpack to the other side. Seeing that he started cursing and trying to chase after us. We immediately walked toward a crowd. How scary.
