A traveler is planning a trip to England around Easter, facing some scheduling challenges due to holiday closures. They'll be picking up a rental car from Sixt at Heathrow Airport (LHR) on Easter Sunday, April 20th, at 9 am. The initial plan involved visiting Windsor Castle and Stonehenge, followed by an overnight stay at Sarum College in Salisbury.

However, Windsor Castle's limited Easter Sunday opening hours (not open to visitors until 2 pm) throw a wrench in the plan, making a timely visit to Stonehenge impossible, especially with Inner Circle tickets sold out for the evening and early Monday. The traveler is now considering a revised itinerary: Salisbury Cathedral at 9 am Monday, then Stonehenge, and finally Bath, before heading to their accommodation in Chedworth.

A separate discussion revolves around attending morning prayers with the monks and nuns at Mont St. Michel. Information is provided, including a link to the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem website for service times. The Lauds service begins early, and attendees are advised to arrive before the doors close. One user recounts an experience where their group received reprimands for not participating correctly in the service (in French), highlighting that it's not primarily a tourist event. While another user, familiar with Catholic traditions, expresses a genuine interest in attending the service for its spiritual authenticity. Participants emphasize the importance of respect and appropriate behavior during the service.
