City of Bath, South West England


Went to the beautiful city of Bath ..one of the most beautiful places to visit, situated within the South West of England. It took us 5hours+ to reach Bath from Newcastle by train
.
Had our high tea at the famous Sally Lunn's refreshment house and museum. It was the oldest house in Bath. Today, they serve an intriguing daytime menu..(££) must taste the Sally Lunn's bun .
Stayed at YMCA Bath. Very clean and convenient.

After checked in, we went for a walk in the city. Pass by Bath Abbey and Theatre Royal Bath, visited the Roman Baths; Pump Room and the Bath Fashion Museum (££). The Roman bathing establishment with its magnifecent Baths flourished in Aquae Sulis between the first and fifth centuries A.D. It was built around the natural hot spring which rises 47degree celcius
.
The Fashion Museum displays the fashions from 1963 to the present. We're allowed to try on reproduction corsets and crinolines in the interactive displays which looks quite funny on us..lol
Went to the world's finest crescent (Royal Crescent) one of the great set-piece masterpieces of European architecture, the most breathtaking feature. Be careful of the kids playing ball games..they aimed the balls at the tourists..i know..naughty people.

Had our dinner at a Thai restaurant (£££) on the first day. The dishes were pretty good but pretty expensive too.Never order the rice which cost us 2pounds for a small bowl!
