Premium Tour Booklet

With very little time to see some of the English countryside, we picked up a tour booklet in the hotel lobby. And it didn't take long to find a tour for Wednesday. We made reservations, and early Wednesday taxied to the central bus station to meet our tour group.

Tour busses and their drivers in a row at the terminal.

8:51 AM ~ At that hour, there were more tour groups gathered at the bus station than there were regular travelers waiting for their busses. It had been a long time since we had been in a bus station. We found that passengers gather near numbered doors similar to the way airline passengers gather at the gates. Our group was loaded and ready to go.

We will have the opportunity to see other parts of London as we make our way to the southwest to Salisbury Plain and our first stop, Stonehenge.
