Bath Toot Bus day!

Hop on and hop off, great way to see new towns. We walked from our BNB to a bus stop. Rode and learned for about 20 minutes, then got off in city center.

We wandered around the city center doing a little shopping, trying some coffee and Nata (egg custard), then going on a 2 hour FREE guided tour of Bath (much better than the bus). Sean was an amazing guide, sharing his knowledge and many anecdotes about the area. He was focused on various architectural components. We learned that Bath was somewhat well known, but really exploded when a “scoundrel” Welshman became the unofficial mayor and chief promoter for the town. He established rules and laws of decorum, got a town architect and builder engaged, and transformed the town over a 30-40 year period.

The result is the Bath we see today. Very tourist driven, the 3 public baths are very busy, more investment and growth continues to roll in.

Bath is a beautiful town with rich heritage. It’s a nice place to visit with vibrant shopping and dining along with great public spaces for walking and relaxing. Go visit if you get a chance.Leia mais
