Yesterday I hit up Buckfast Abbey (working monestary, cool church), Dartmouth Castle (everything about that place was awesome, the town is so pretty!), Cockington (wicked crafts village with mideval buildings all over the place) and Kents Caverns (oldest caves with human habitation going waaaay back). It was a grim day again, weather wise, but a nice slower pace day to end the trip.
Today, March 21, was the spring solstice, and I got to be at Glastonbury, climbing the Tor!! How cool is that?! I went to the Abbey first which was very lovely and peaceful, and said hi to King Arthurs burrial sites (funny how within a 3 days span I visited his birth place and burrial site...). I saw the chalice well, where the holy grail is supposedly burried, and then climbed way up the Tor (ie Island of Avalon). It was all pretty awesome, and it was heightened by all the pagan/druid/alternative people around!
I also visited Wells Cathderal and Cheddar Gorge today, both were very cool as well.
I'm now settled in my room at Cambridge. Over the past week I drove over 2000KM's and saw so much!! I still want to see more, so Devon and Cornwall will have to put up with me again in the future. Now that I'm here with more sturdy internet, I'll try upload photos to flickr, classes permitting.
