      Bath time

      21 Aralık 2023, İngiltere ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

      After getting up and having a lovely included breakfast that was better than it had any right to be from an inexpensive hotel, we hit the road in Bartholomew II for the last time in the direction of Bath. Only stopping briefly for fuel and to give the car a quick clean.

      We handed the car over and walked along the riverside into the town centre. The town is chock full of beautiful Georgian architecture with a characteristic yellow stone. It looks fantastic, one of the most pleasing cities to date.

      After a long walk with our familiar heavy bags weighing us down once more, we arrived at our hotel, hoping to drop the bags off. We got lucky again and were able to check in a few hours before the official time!

      Once in we booked some tickets to the Roman bathhouses which we assume provide the city with its name. After a brief rest we headed over and were immediately taken aback by how impressive these restored ruins were!

      The baths are smack bang in the middle of the city across the road from their huge Abbey. And you could walk past the museum site without even knowing they were there (like we did!)

      While you can't swim in the baths anymore, some of the pools are still filled with hot water, with satisfying bubbles coming up to the surface.

      The museum was surprisingly packed, but we were still able to have a thorough look at all of their exhibits, most importantly being the pools of course, but also large parts of the temple that they had adjacent to the pools, and even a fancy bronze head of their goddess Minerva!

      Once we eventually finished with the museum (and Phill convinced himself not to buy a mini Roman soldier's helmet) we left and got some afternoon tea which included one of the best cookies that we've ever had! Nice!

      Afterwards we walked around the town a little more, exploring the general area before it got dark. We made it to a few other nice places like The Circus (not the clown kind) as well as the Royal Crescent, areas which look amazing and contain a lot of impressive Georgian style homes... Where the kind of people live that probably fell into the favourable side of generational wealth...

      Eventually we made it back home and used our fun little app to find food that was close to being thrown out. We found another Gregg's and excitedly booked it. While it was still a good haul, it wasn't quite as impressive as the previous ones we've had... But it's okay, Gregg. We still love ya.

      The Roman Bath

      25 Eylül 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Las termas romanas situadas en la localidad de Bath (Somerset) son un edificio de interés histórico, uno de los más importantes a nivel turístico de Inglaterra. El complejo está muy bien conservado, gracias a lo cual se pueden apreciar muy bien los elementos arquitectónicos presentes en el edificio Las termas propiamente dichas se sitúan por debajo del nivel de la calle y los edificios construidos a raíz de su descubrimiento se pueden dividir en cuatro grupos entre los que están el «Manantial Sagrado», el Templo Romano, el Baño Romano y la Casa Museo. Estas estructuras, que se encuentran a nivel de la calle, datan del siglo xix.Okumaya devam et

      The Pump Room

      14 Haziran 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      After our tour of the Roman Baths, we enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in the Grand Pump Room. Many scenes from my favourite Georgette Heyer Regency novels occur in the Pump Room, where the members of the ton would gather to see and be seen, as well as partake off the mineral waters, which you can still drink today. We all tasted the water, and it is as foul as the books proclaim.Okumaya devam et

      Cannington > Bath - 80km

      28 Nisan, İngiltere ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Après une bonne nuit au chaud et des repas préparés grâce à la bouilloire de la chambre, nous repartons le coeur léger vers l'aventure. Cette journée s'annonce forcément meilleure que la veille, avec des températures et une météo plus clémentes.
      En plus, après avoir parcouru quelques kilomètres dans la campagne anglaise, et fait une pause sur le banc d'une église dans une ambiance dominicale pour manger quelques graines, nous nous approchons de Cheddar !
      Et oui, le nom du fromage vient bien de cette ville et de sa région. Plus précisément des gorges de Cheddar, où quelques personnes ont trouvé ce lieu idéal pour faire et affiner leur fromage dans les grottes de cette région, depuis le XIIe siècle.
      En tout cas, la longue ascension dans ces gorges est magnifique, malgré les motos et voitures de sport qui ont décidé de faire le plus de bruit possible.
      On continue ensuite tranquillement dans la campagne en direction de Bath, lorsque tout à coup surgit un petit chien d'un buisson et commence à nous courser ! Cela donne un bon coup de boost à Bastien qui semble oublier pendant quelques secondes le poids de son vélo chargé...
      Après toutes ces péripéties, on arrive à Bath, ville prometteuse que nous avons hâte de visiter le lendemain, en suivant un canal paisible. Une dernière côte pour bien nous casser les jambes et nous voici à l'auberge de jeunesse !

      Clarkson Farm and Bath

      18 Mayıs, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

      We said our farewells to Judith and Snowy (and Cornwall) with cornish pasties for the road and headed to Bath....via a quick stop to Clarkson Farm. If you know anything about the history of the Clarkson Farm Store, you would agree that it is a must see. What they don't show you on the Clarkson Farm series is that the daily line to get into the Farm Store is at least 90 minutes! But, thankfully the line for their famous food truck was only 45 minutes. Yep - we did it and we can agree that it was worth the wait! So it was a short and worthy detour on our way to Bath. Once we arrived in Bath we were quite awestruck. This famous Roman spa town dates as far back as 800 BC! We arrived too late to visit the Roman Bath museum, but we still enjoyed a stroll around the Bath Abbey (675 AD) and the weir on the River Avon. Did you know Jane Austen lived in Bath?Okumaya devam et

      Bath Abbey

      14 Haziran 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Tom was feeling a little weary, I think jet lag and several days of walking all over Windsor and Bath has caught up with him, so Danielle and Tom went back to the apartment to let him rest up for the afternoon.
      Simon and Annabelle paid a visit to the thousand year old Bath Abbey, and then a tour of the country side on a tourist bus.

      Bath and Thermae Spa

      17 Temmuz 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Getting my bearings today, a reception person at the Y gave me a ticket for the hop on hop off bus (20 pounds worth) so am very delighted about that...

      It has started raining again so I came into the library to do some catching up. I thought I had booked a room to myself but lo and behold a young woman came in around 8.30 last night to take up space! Then out again she went barreling in at 11 pm. That's a hostel for you! More later when I finish my day.

      So Today I did the hop on hop off buses one went around Bath and the other went up into the hills to give a view of Bath from on high, but what a joke! The bus didn't slow down or pull over to allow photos and the amount of trees on the drive hitting us in the face meant we had to lean over to miss being struck by sticky oot branches!! What a laugh, some kids up the back of the bus gave some screams then hysterical laughter, poor things..

      The sun came out which was brilliant as it had solidly rained earlier in the day and I held my face up to the lovely sun which doesn't feel like its burning you even tho it may be!! I met a lovely woman who was escaping her sisters for the day, they live in NZ and she in Sidney town Australia. She was telling me that some places aren't accepting the old notes and even some places are demanding Euros?? I wonder what's that about?? Meanwhile my dollar is only worth 48 cents ... which is a bit of a nightmare when I come to buying anything, accept travelling.

      Here's to a good day travelling to Castle Coombe. I forgot to say something on my "leaving Frome day," so I will go back and add some info.

      I did get some lovely photos I hope and will upload them when on my way to Castle Coombe today. After my sojourn on the buses, I felt in need of a hot soak and made arrangements to go to "Thermae Bath" for a "hot" swim. The thermal waters called indeed! I went through the door only to be ushered out again by an anxious reception person. Oops I thought its because I'm early for the 6.30pm closing time?? But no, no sooner had I gone out than a line of people started pouring out of the spa.
      White dressing gowned, flip flopped footed persons/ clients appeared everywhere out on the road, clutching towels and nothing else. A fire had been started in the "Minerva" suite which is on the lower ground floor and the alarm had to be attended to. There seemed like maybe on 100 to 120 people standing outside. As time went on another woman and I began a conversation about the whole thing, no information given as to what else might be happening inside, nothing.
      Funny people we are, we don't expect anything untoward to happen, then when it does, it feels like a personal assault!! We want what we want now!! Very interesting to watch the faces of those who had been in the middle of treatments, and to listen to one guy whose treatment had just finished and were leaving but stuck with their telephones bolted inside a lockable bag which could only be opened by a maching inside the building!! He was fuming!!

      I will upload pics on my way to Castle Coombe today. So watch this space.
