DAY 9 - Cycling south UK. Last day of cycling. After an early rise and a cup of tea at the Stonehenge campsite I cycled the 20km, +200m back to Salisbury. I made stop at Old Sarum Castle, the location of early fortresses and castles and at one point the caste of William the Conqueror and the first Cathedral near Salisbury. From there to the city center for a tea & an apple crumble and a visit to Salisbury Cathedral. The entrance fee was a bit pricey (12£) but well worth the visit, with a 1h guided tour. After the cathedral I also visited the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum with more info about Stonehenge and Old Sarum. They had a nice café where I enjoyed some more tea and a scone before heading off to the train station. Train to London where I arrived around 3pm, enough time for a visit to the Freemasons museum :). Then to The Generator Hostel to drop off my bags and to Ta'mini (https://www.taminilebanesebakery.com/) for a Za'atar Manakish. To bed early for an early morning train to Dover. Cycling in London at 7.30am was quite easy and the train to Dover was pleasant. A long wait in Dover with 20 other cyclists to cross with the ferry. I was very fortunate that my parents picked me up in Dunkirk for a cozy time at their home :).
