Day 3 into my time overseas and I spent the day in the World Heritage city of Bath, found in the countrys south west. The city of 85000 people is the home of the Roman Baths, The Royal Crescent & The Circus, each of these having a cultural historic significance to the area. Currently I am staying in a B&B in Freshford located just outside of Bath.
Jackie, my aunty dropped me at the top of Ralph Allen Drive (one of the main entrances into the town) after we had a cup of tea with my great Aunty this morning. Although it was 10 degrees today, the 20 minute walk down into town doesn't take long for the body to heat up! I walked around the town for a good 5 hours, which has changed immensly since I was there last 6 years ago.
The Roman Baths, well worth the £12.00 entry, is an historic site of public bathing. The Baths are in a well preserved condition, with a lot of the artifiacts found around the site still in pristine condition.
I caught the train back to the B&B, Cityrail back home does not compare, with the Bath rail service providing punctual on-time services and clean trains.
And for lunch I picked up a Scwartz Bros. hamburger which has got to be Bath's secret weapon!

Hey there and welcome to my project... I'm overseas, currently spending 80 days abroad as a part of my second year out of school. Living it up in Europe before I settle down back home in Australia to study journalism. Bit of a brief spiel, I departed Sydney March 9 and have a return date of May 25, spent the month of April on a Contiki touring a lot of the continent, and visiting lots of fam on either side. Living and learning is what it's about... let's see how it pans out! Subscribe and follow my travels. ... full info
