It's time to pick up our car from Avis, leave London and enjoy the English countryside.
After fiddling around and understanding how to use the GPS, we finally made it to Stonehenge. We paid our entrance fees, picked up our audio guides, walked through the underground tunnel and hello, that's Stonehenge in front of us!
After a complete round of the hanging stones, we bought our lunch and ate in the picnic area near our car. We had shepherd's pie (as predicted, Fred liked this) and Cornish pasties (hmmm, brings back old childhood memories).
Clockwise: Hot black coffee, shepherd's pie, Cornish Pasties.It was then time to hit the road this time. On our way to Castle Combe, we stopped by at Devizes. It's a lovely little town with small streets, small shops, little town square. 
Look, things for sale outside the store. The crime rate here must be minute, if any, for the store owners put there wares out on the streets.
This little girl is so cute. She's playing hide and seek with her mum. Of all the places to hide, she decided to hide under a "sandwich signboard"!

Welcome to Castle Combe, voted as England's prettiest village.We could really see and feel why this little village is a favourite with the English - it's peaceful, beautiful, the people are friendly. We took a stroll in the village and found there are really no lamp posts here. It's like stepping back in time. On the downside, there's no handphone reception, but amazingly, they have really fast internet access.
This is our hotel: The Castle Inn Hotel which is smack right in the middle of the town.
Our very sturdy four-poster bed. It's so comfy but had to climb up the bed. Kind of feels like the Princess and the Pea (without the pea though). Fred likes this bed because it made him feel like the King of the Castle!
Our beautiful bathtub.
Yes, we did take time to have fun in exploring Castle Combe!
We even saw two swans, the only two swans in Castle Combe. Unfortunately, they're both male.
Dinner time at Castle Inn Hotel. Check out my huge platter of fish & chips. Fred had steak with mushroom sauce.
I was NOT unhappy with dinner. I was just concerned about how I was going to finish it.
