Today I went on the Jane Austen walking tour which was wonderful. We walked all around Bath seeing important sights for Jane Austen. We started in the Pumps rooms where Catherine Morland and Isabella would have gone and then went on to see some other baths that Jane and her brother Edward visited. We then went down Pultney Bridge and went across to see where Jane lived at 4 Sydney Place. Then we went on to Queen Square, the Royal crescent, the Circus and then to the Assembly Rooms. The Assembly Rooms are so beautiful the chandeliers are my favorite part and they are the original ones from the house. The ball for this years festival was held there as well. all and all the walking tour was a great time and I loved our guide ... read more

In October 2008, Mum and I went to Bath for the weekend. As I wanted to see Stonehenge again, (very cold and busy) headed the long way and arrived in Bath at about 3.00 pm. We parked up and had a quick look around, popping into the church, where there was a group were practising for the evening 'performance'. Fantastic to hear with the high ceilings, very atmospheric! Over the weekend, did the Roman Baths, had a bite to eat in the oldest house in Bath, Sally Lunn's and enjoyed the good food. Trying to find the photo's - update soon. ... read more

This weekend was one of the most spontaneous and wonderful weekends I've ever had. Every single aspect of the trip was an adventure and it was fabulous. I think I've officially fallen in love with England. I'll start from the beginning. Friday night, Alyse, Sabrina and I sat down to buy our train tickets to Bath and found the tickets had skyrocketed to 50 pounds and none of us wanted to pay that. We searched for probably 2 hours for alternate routes and alternate destinations that would be cheaper. After a couple hours we were exhausted and decided to just buy a one-way ticket to Bath in the morning and go from there. We didn't know if we'd come back the next night or stay over but we decided we had a ticket and we'd go ... read more

Ok so in my blogs I have realized that I have not given my house mates any airtime. I mean everyone at home should know the characters/lovely people that I am living with because it is too much fun. There are eight of us in the house plus we have an adopted member named Julia from the house across the road. I live with 5 other girls and 2 guys. We have had such a wonderful time together soo far. The great thing about our house i feel like is that everyone gets along, is laid back and enjoys each others company. I live with two of the sweetiest girls Ali and Emily who "take care of us" but since they were gone to Paris this weekend the house dropped into some disarray until we cleaned ... read more

Prepare yourself for a potentially long entry and sorry for any grammatical mistakes - I will be typing a lot! Brian, Anthony, Stephanie and I left London early Friday morning. We were going from Stonehenge, to Bath and then on to Wales but there aren't any buses/trains on that direct path so we rented a car. BEFORE ANYONE GASPS, everything went fine! Anthony was our driver and he was very confident. There were no accidents and not even a close call. However, we did get a written warning from our hostel and two parking tickets that we now have to pay off. It was a 2 hour drive to Stonehenge. We were concerned that we had missed it when all of a sudden, we drove over a hill and there it was! It's just randomly off ... read more
