City of Bath is famous for the Roman Baths, which tends to overshadow other attractions. As we only had one day there, we were only able to visit the Abbey and the Roman baths.
A walk in Bath Abbey reminded us of the many churches, cathedrals and abbeys we visited during the trip in Paris and London. Detailed with lively wooden sculptures, stone plaques of importance, stained glass windows with biblical stories, magnificent organs for mass, enigmatic crypts, we still did not develop an eye to look into the different features unique to these Houses of God.
Museum of Bath educates throngs of visitors everyday with its artifacts, curators, articles and the fact that the museum itself was situated on the excavation site of the Roman Baths. It was truly amazing that such a wonder was brought back to light. It laid hidden all these years as civilizations after civilizations built cities over the site.
Oh look, lets give him a hand to try out the thermal water!

Man i love bath. Me and Amy spent 2 days there and i think it wasn't enough. Such a nice quaint town.
Hows plymouth? Frozen solid yet from the winter? Haha
Nice place there, we spent quite some time in the museum, wanted to eat at the pump house, but then somehow didn't make it
Surprisingly today was not as cold, there was snow a few days back. But only during the night and for a short time. Not so badly hit by the snow.
plymouth is MILD!
Hmm... we like Bath too, except for the fact that all the houses around it look almost exactly the same and they are made of that stone which looks really depressing in bad weather. :D
plymouth is still my favourite..perhaps i am a sea person..
