A nice warm Bath (Nov 15 - 16)

For our last 'driving the car on the left side of the road' trip we went to Bath, UK. Bath got its name from and ancient spring that pumps warm water to the earth's surface. It is pretty crazy... this water is 95 degrees and there are no heaters involved. I attached a link to the wikipedia article so you can read more about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Baths_(Bath)

So the adventure started out on a bad note. We were half way to Bath when our hotel called and said they were over booked and they were canceling our reservation. They also told us no hotels in Bath would have availability.... we proved them wrong!! Once we finally arrived and got a hotel room it was later in the day and we were both tired. So what do you do when you are both tired and in Bath?... go to the spa of course. The place is called Thermae Bath Spa. It is a place where you can swim in the actual warm waters from the ancient roman spring. Chris tried really hard to convince the staff to fit us in for a massage but there were none available. After a couple hours in the water and a dip in the roof top pool that over looked the city of Bath we were off to dinner.

The next day was jam packed. First stop Roman Bath House and Pump Room. The Bath House was pretty cool. It is amazing to think this warm water was discovered in 836 BC. The water today is really gross looking but still amazing. Chris wanted to taste the water but the huge "This water is dangerous to drink" stopped him in his tracks. On the way out they let you try a purified version of the water .... I thought it was disgusting!! After strolling around Bath and taking in the sites we stopped at the famous Sally Lunn's House where they make huge yummy buns to eat! I was very insistent on stopping here...Chris was not very excited about it.

Final stop of the trip was Stonehenge. It is a prehistoric monument built around 2500 BC. There is still quite a bit remaining from the original monument but a lot has fallen over or been destroyed. It was still very cool to see. We had a great time on this little adventure. I hope you enjoy the photos.
