| The cows
return to England for a look at the past and a taste of the
future. |
 |
 | Aboard the ferry Ulysses from Dublin to
Holyhead, the cows take in the amenities of the worlds
largest passenger ferry. |
| "Ahhh... what a
wonderful way to view the Welsh countryside!" Lunch and
Snack take a series of trains from the tip of Wales to Bath
in the south of England.
|
 | When the cows arrive in Bath, they discover
that the entire city is considered to be a UNESCO world
heritage site. An emblem declaring its status is embedded
right in a cobblestone street. |
 | And what a place to start. Lunch and Snack
look up at Bath Abbey, one of the last great gothic churches
in England dating back to 1499. |
 | "So this is what it's all about Lunch." The
cows pay a visit to the world famous Stonehenge site near
Salisbury. The conglomeration of Stonehenge, Avebury and
Associated Sites has its own world heritage
designation. |
 | The cows were able to escape Stonehenge before
the tour buses from London arrived. |
 | On
the way back to Bath, Lunch and Snack stop in Lacock, a
preserved Cotswold village in the Wiltshire countryside.
|
 | "Hmmm.... do we look statuesque?" The cows
take a tour of the Roman baths that gave Bath its
name. |
 | With a natural hot spring to feed it, the
main pool of the Roman baths attracts thousands and
thousands of visitors. The first shrine at the site was
built in the First Century BCE, but the site received
extensive development during the subsequent Roman occupation
of Britain. |
 | Lunch and Snack receive the attention of a
Roman foot soldier guarding the baths. Actually an actor in
period costume gives visitors a historic perspective of the
baths' significance. |
 | Of
course, no visit to the Roman baths would be complete
without a sample of the water. A modern restaurant
overlooking the baths provides a convenient place for a
taste. |
 | The cows pay a visit to Kensington Palace in
London, the traditional home of the Prince and Princess of
Wales. Lunch and Snack discover a makeshift shrine at the
palace gate assembled to mark the 10th anniversary of the
death of Princess Diana. |
 | Keith waits for a train at one of the
stations of the London Underground. What a great way to get
around. |
 | Nancy waits for the doors
to open at the Queen's Theatre in the West End near
Picadilly Circus. Keith, Nancy and the cows got a chance to see Les
Misérables in its London home since 2004. |
 | Lunch and Snack look up at the ceiling of the
central court of the British Museum. More than 13 million
objects make up the museum's vast collection of art and
artifacts. |
 | The Rosetta Stone was one of the highlights
of the cows' visit to the British Museum. |
 | The cows look over a directory of the British
Library in London. A copy of every book published in England
is sent here, and the library houses a copy of the Magna
Carta, along with other priceless manuscripts. |
 | The Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster
glows in the night during the cows' last night in London.
|
 | With their European adventure at an end, the
cows look out from their plane back to Seattle with the
memories of a bovine lifetime. |
