London
The next day, we took a 10-hour guided day trip to some popular attractions outside of London. The first stop was Windsor, the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. It is a Royal home and fortress for over 900 years. Here we saw St. George's Chapel and the State Apartments.
Next, we went to the most famous prehistoric monument in the world, Stonehenge. Now a World Heritage Site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast emptiness of Salisbury plain. There is actually another tour that starts at dawn that allows tourists to get inside the "inner circle of stones". Unfortunately, it was not available on the day we came.
The last stop of the tour was Oxford, one of the world's greatest academic institutions.
After the tour, we went straight to London Eye for our scheduled flight via one of the capsules, for a view of the city.
