Yesterday was filled with lots of excitement and began bright early in the morning . . . we left for the coach station at 6:45 a.m. for our 7:45 bus ride to Bath. For those of you who do not know what Bath is, it is a city three hours outside of London that is filled with history. Their reason for calling the city Bath is due to the Roman Baths placed there centuries ago! These Baths were known to be holy water and people used to travel from all over the world to reach these baths and be healed. The water in these baths come from hot water springs so they naturally feel like a very warm pool! The Roman Baths are like a resort and although a lot of the area has deteriorated it is still in pretty good shape and has so much history in it! It was amazing!
While in Bath we could not skip seeing the famous Jane Austen museum. This museum is placed two doors down from where she lived in Bath. It was very interesting to learn about her life and I bought a copy of 'Pride and Prejudice!' An amazing novel!
We also saw the famous Assembly hall where all the balls were held (just like in Jane Austen's novel) and we looked around in the costume museum where there were many old dresses from Jane Austen's time period.
To top off the day beautifully we went to an amazing ice cream shop that 24 unique flavors. I instantly fell in love with the Creme Brulee flavor and the (very different) cookies n' cream flavor! So I had two scoops in a cone! It was wonderful!
There was plenty more that happened in Bath but this is the short version of our journey. All in all just being in Bath was rewarding. The architecture is amazing! Everything is very old and so historical! The roads were all in cobble stone which definitely did a job on my little feet! By the time we got back to our flat at 10:00 p.m. I was dead but I had to desperately do some laundry so I ended up staying up until 2 am at the laundromat with my friends watching Pride and Prejudice!
