After getting up way too early to catch the tube to the program offices over in Notting Hill, we boarded the bus for a journey that was just over 2 hours. When we arrived in Bath, we got off the bus, only briefly though, as we also had a bus tour of the city. We, of course, stopped by the Royal Crescent (which has very little connection with the royal family):
After our bus tour, I met up with Terry and only had time to quickly eat a sandwich before my scheduled tour of the Roman Baths. The tour was a self-guided tour with a free audio guide so we could go at our own pace, which was nice. What I did not know was that the Baths were actually once part of an entire bath and temple complex (the big arched building was the main bath):
After touring the Roman Baths, I met up with Terry again and we toured the Abbey. The choir was practicing while we were in the Abbey, so it was nice to have voices singing while we were walking around. We did not go up the tower, but this is something I wan to do when I return to Bath.
Along the walls there were grave markers, including the followign one. Note what war this man fought in:
Before I had to get back on the bus, we had tea at the Boston Tea Party, which was nice except for having to sit outside. I highly recommend their chocolate chip muffin (and that's after only having 1 bite)!
I depart for Scotland tomorrow, so look for a few blog posts covering that over the course of next week.
