Whoops, I didn't quite make myself very clear when I said I
"absolutely agree", I was trying to say that I absolutely agree that
Stonehenge is worth a visit, rather than agreeing that it was a
disappointment.
It can be both at the same time. Many places are like that. I'd include
both John O Groats and Lands End (and the less well known "most
southerly point") in that category.
Call me a philistine, but I was very disappointed by the Colosseum in
Rome. All the tourist literature kept wittering on about it being
"bigger than you can possibly imagine", and when I got there it was
smaller than I was expecting. But it was worth seeing, just to
understand what it was all about.
