Somerset road trip

I took a road trip with my housemates to Somerset while I was living in London.

Since I took these almost 20 years ago (!), there was some detective work to identify locations (no GPS data back then!) There was at least good EXIF timestamps (luckily, since the filenames aren’t even consistent and sequential).

I remember it being a fun trip. I was not a designated driver so I got to sit back and relax while we were on the road.

Despite not really enjoying the touristy nature of places like Stonehenge, it was good to cross them off the bucket list.

A view of a city street in Bath. On the left are many yellow fronted buildings, all adjoining and uniform.
