Bath

Well, here we are again after several months of neglect. We return to you with a fun story of my trip with my dear gal-pal Christy to Bath, England. (which took place last August)...

Well, when Christy first arrived in London, we did some of the "usual" sight-seeing:


A visit to our favourite downtown pub called Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for a pint and a snack.


 A splash in Trafalgar Square's fountain.



A jaunt past the guards museum...


Then we packed up our kit and headed to the Paddington station.


After a train, an extremely bumpy bus ride, and a brief walk, we found ourselves at our pretty little hotel, which lay in a pretty little green yard next to a pretty little stream.







Later we took a walk down  the canal towpath.













...and enjoyed some local bicycle art... 




And then we had a spot of tea at an adorable tearoom...





...before popping by the abbey for a quick visit!




We found ourselves in awe of magnificent ceiling of Bath Abbey...




and the incredible view from the abbey's roof! We were led on an incredible tour of the abbey towers. We were even allowed to ring the bells in the bell tower...

...and sit in the clock tower, too!

Later on, after dark had fallen on the town, we walked past the abbey again on our way to the preserved ruins of the Roman baths.



Just us gals (and a bunch of statues) at the Roman Baths!














I just couldn't help myself, those statues were irresistible!
 
We said goodbye to Bath with a nice walk around town and enjoyed the River Avon, the lovely shops, and some rather nice weather...
