We spent most of the day in Bath. Initially we considered
renting bike and cycling there, but were told it is just a bit too far – it is
about 25k. We decided to take the train rather than the bus for the charm of
the train and apparently the train is faster.
The main attraction is the Roman Baths. These are similar
to baths in other excavated ruins we have seen before, the main difference
being the infrastructure built around them for tourism. Here there is an audio guide, descriptive plaques and some added elements for affect.
Visiting the baths takes about 90 minutes after which it is
lunch time. We try our hardest to find a pub.

Next we wander to Bath’s Circus - a circular (only half
circle) of townhouses. Then to the river-side park and back to the train. I
think I’m glad we opted for the train. It’s not crowded, takes no time (about 9
minutes versus the bus that was supposed to take 45) , and has wifi (although
so does the bus.)
On the way back to the hotel we stop at a grocery store for
a bottle of wine (no new chip flavours here) and then a pint.
There is a shop near our hotel called the Bristol Cider
Shop. I thought there would be more to this place, but there’s not much to it.
