Around 10 am, Matt drive us to Stonehenge! Thank you so much! I check the email before we go out - Aurélie replied my mail that she tired to call me many times but not working too, so I replied her email and gave her Matt's number. In fact before I go to UK, I've checked the information how to go to stonehenge and how much etc - coz my friends may not interested in it - but thanks so much Matt to drive there and spend the sunday with me. Anyways for those who are interested, I will just put the information here for your reference -

First I’d like to explain to those don’t know what is Uffington white horse - this is a photo from air craft (from wikipeida) at the top. There’s many ancient hill figure made by unknown human, and there's a few white horse hill figure in England, but then also others design such as Long Man of Wilmington, Cerne Abbas giant etc. I know about the hill figure, but didn’t plan to go during this trip as its a bit far and unlike Stonehenge, there's no public transport to go there .... but then after Matt asked his friend (who work for the land development for UK government) where it was and his friend also recomment to back go London via white horse hill, we were going there! I’m so happy it was a nice surprise! So... what’s special of Uffington white horse? its one of the oldest white horse hill figure date back at least 3000 - 4000 years ago, 374 feet (110 m) long, very stylish design and also, and just like stonehenge, always found crop circle appears around it. |

Sometime, life really link people together. Aurelie’s address is in Highgate station, when we arrived we didn’t have an idea which way to go. then we just pass by a bar and went inside, tell her we were there and then she can come meet us - guess what? This bar is the place that Aurelie was staying! her friend (also a French girl, Helene) work there as manager and their house is upstairs. so after a while we sit down, Aurelie come down and then hug me kiss me ... oh oh Aurelie how I misssss you :-) after almost 4 years!!!!!!!!! |
