MJC Reach Cambridge

Day 9

Stonehenge was great. Despite having to get up at 5 plus in the morning, (I got up at 6 plus. Hehe) the trip was worth it. The minibus drove us there on a 4-hour bus ride. Most of us were sleepy but all awoken to find the English heritage, Stonehenge. The site was terrific. There were loads of tourists here and there, all who have come from all over just to experience the stones.

We got to use audio sets, which were new to us. We use them by putting them against our ears to listen to a recorded voice telling us about the site. There’s a pathway created around the stones for tourists to walk along and listen to their audio sets at the same time.

The view was great. Before tourism was introduced, the stones would have been in the middle nowhere, just little hills. The stones were much bigger than I expected. I think it really represents how earlier civilisations have thrived. But, you probably wouldn’t appreciate my descriptions of the stones. So get down there if you have the chance!

Ancient Roman Bath

We took a 1-hour ride to Bath, a town beside Cambridge. We also visited the museum bath where the history of the roman baths were clearly explained and shown. I felt that the site was so historic.

We then spilt up to walk around the town. The 5 ‘kids’ followed their ‘mother’ around. We visited shops ranging from pharmacies to restaurants. We ended up having dinner at a corner bar cum restaurant. After that, we took the 3-hour ride back to Cambridge, and had a chemistry lecture by Ms Teo. We learnt ionic equilibium II in 40 minutes and finished the tutorial the next night.
