STONEHENGE 11 August 2012
Warm & good day :)
I just feel like we must go as many places as we can when we are here, in the UK :)
Another Saturday day trip with a local tour :)
It was a day trip to Stonehenge & Bath !
Most of my friends were so lazy to join this tour as the journey from Sheffield to Stonehenge would take approximately 5 hours !!!
They were just so afraid to sit in the coach for such a long hours !!!
However, I personally think that we should take the opportunity to visit the wonder of the world !
Few of the wonders of the world, whether natural, industrial, modern, ancient or medieval still remain a mystery to us today, yet Stonehenge is just that !
Nobody can be sure of why it was built and what official purpose it served...
However, it holds a great deal of historical fact and emotional significance for a great number of people across the world !
Stonehenge is composed of a circular setting of large standing stones set within earthworks......
It was constructed in 3 phases and it has been estimated that the three phases of the construction required more than thirty million hours of labour !!!!!!!!
OMG, how they built it and why ????????
Speculation of the reason it was built range from human sacrifice to astronomy !!
Enjoy the pictures below :)

| Many tourists ! |
 |
| Only 4 of us joined the trip ! |
 |
| JUMP ! I know that I was too slow to jump ! haha |
 |
| We brought our lunch box & had our lunch at Wonder of the World !!!!!! |
 |
| Trying to move the stone ??? |
 |
| Haha it was too heavy for me to move them !! *I know I look stupid in this pic* |
We were so excited once we reached there !
However, we felt like they were just the stones after few minutes ! haha
Maybe we couldn't understand the history/story behind the stones !
After all, it was still a good experience to visit Stonehenge, the wonder of the world !
