Saturday:
On the bus at 7:30am, a two and half hour bus ride and lots of sleeping on the bus led me to Bath, England. We were given approximately five hours of our own time to explore the city any way we wanted to.
The city itself is like being in a painting, the Abbey and the Roman Baths are all such old buildings full of history. Just walking around the city, looking at all the structures and buildings is amazing.
This English city is the home of the famous Roman baths. These hot spring baths are where the Romans would come for relaxation, spirituality and healing. As one of my activities for the day I went to the baths, I mean how could I not? The museum part is so full of history and artefacts. Once I got in I was introduced for the first time to these interesting gadgets that look a lot like a large cell phone. You hold the phone up to your ear and as you move around the museum you punch in certain numbers and a voice from inside narrates the history of what you are looking at.
The baths itself are gorgeous, the pillars and statues surround the area making it even more beautiful. The baths still bubble from the heat and you can see the steam coming off the water. Everything in these baths is all original, even the water and the lead lining around it. This is obviously not the healthiest thing to bathe in. Being around them makes you want to get in the water or put your feet in it to feel its warmth. But all around it are signs telling you not to because of how dangerous and unhealthy it can be.
After the baths as a part of our admission we were able to get a discounted admission to the Bath Fashion Museum and we went. It wasn't a very large museum but it was full of clo
thing that time lined all the different styles of clothing throughout the ages. There was one of Queen Victoria's black dresses from her period of mourning which was almost sad to see because you think of her story and why she wore black for so long. But in one section we were able to be young girls again playing dress-up. We were able to put on the large tie up skirts and corsets and be a part of a different time.
After all that I walked around the town, it’s full of shops and has an abundance of street performs, so it will never be boring on the streets of Bath. Whether that is musicians, statue performs or magicians there will be something to see.
