Day Out: Bath

Bath! An outstanding city. We brought the girls here in 2016, and Cora had fond memories and wanted to return (see posts here and here from that trip).

On our trip Wednesday, we again paid for entry to the Roman Baths, since the girls are now eight years older than last time. It's such a great museum. Did you know, the water behind us is green because of algae, but in Roman times, there was a roof, so the water would have been clear?

I think Stace did a nice job with this photo.


The hot springs still flow, but Cora wasn't that impressed with the warm, sulfuric water.
We met back up with Nan and Pop, found some lunch, and then walked over to the weir and Pulteney Bridge.




We decided to not pay to enter Bath Abbey, though it's an impressive building.


We happened upon an amazing bookstore, and both girls found books to buy.
We enjoyed a lovely train ride home through the countryside.
