Bath

We caught a park and ride bus to Bath on Wednesday and wandered through the city. More beautiful old buildings and lots of shops (although with my 2 companions, I haven't had much chance to shop).

We called in at the market place, where Matthew was quite excited to see a lolly shop. Between us we bought a huge piece of licorice, but were quite disappointed when we tasted it. Tough, chewy and disgusting, it went straight in the bin. Cameron had the best deal, he brought a pastry, whilst Matthew and I shared a coke to get rid of the horrible taste.


We then spent a couple of hours exploring the Roman Bath Centre and learning some early Roman/English history. Absolutely incredible to see the buildings and engineering that was in place hundreds of years ago. The craftmanship and work that went into everything is just astounding.

The afternoon was spent walking the streets, down to the city gates, along the river, up more hills and a huge set of steps until we arrived at the Bath Assembly Rooms, where they had an exhibition of clothing worn by royals throughout the years and a fantastic timeline of the British royalty. (We're getting very well eductated on British history).

After this it was time for afternoon tea and our journey home, so we could have a delicious home-cooked stir fry and couple of drinks. Another great day.
