A Warm Bath


Well after living in London for a month we decided it was time to get out! So we headed out to the town of Bath about 3 hours west by bus.
Bath is famous for the Roman Baths that were built there almost 2000 years ago. There is a lot more to Bath than the Roman baths though, and we were blessed with amazing warm weather so we took full advantage of it.

We arrived on Sunday before lunch and headed to this tiny pub and had a steak and ale pie and a pint of local ale. Monday was a public holiday so we booked into a hotel Sunday night. In summer the Roman Baths are open until 9pm so we were able to stroll around the complex while the sunset. On Monday we checked out Bath Abby which is a Gothic cathedral that was built in the 1600's. The weather remained sunny so we took a boat cruise on the Avon river which ran out through the green country side.

We really enjoyed our time in Bath and it was nice to get away from the craziness of London for a few days. We took a lot of photos and have attached quite a few below
