Stonehenge and Windsor - A day trip from London

It took me around 7 years after my arrival in London to finally manage to visit Stonehenge. I have passed it on the way to Somerset and a few friends that visited London went there as well, but the opportunity arose only now that I would finally be able to join my visiting friends on a day trip to Stonehenge.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles west of Amesbury and 8 miles north of Salisbury.

What makes this place so interesting is basically the fact that Stonehenge was produced by a culture that left no written records. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate. A number of myths surround the stones. 

For a lot of people they are simply a bunch of rocks (like myself), but for others this is a place of worship, magic and mystery, which I absolutely respect, but I didn't go crazy over my visit, although I am really glad I finally did it.

Paris with a hint of colour

I have been to Paris a number of times, but actually never written about it. I remember the first time I went, I was 16 and I was in love. I had big dreams before the trip on how romantic and beautiful everything would be. I stayed less than 24 hours and took the bus back to Germany on the same evening. But all I remember was a horrible trip and my impression of Paris were rather on the negative end. However over the years and in such close proximity I have become acquaint with Paris and its culture. I certainly would not compare Paris to other French cities, but there are elements I am sure everyone would enjoy. Although I have to admit, while Paris is not my personal favourite, it certainly is a place not to be missed when you are in Europe. I mean, come on, this is Paris after all.
