As much as we love our jobs (especially the pay) and new friends in Southampton, we really needed to get away this weekend. So we drove to Bath. Its such a beautiful city even in the rain (yes it rained all weekend AGAIN). Lots of sandstone buildings and much, much more class than Southampton. We loved roaming the narrow alleys and there are plenty of places serving great coffee too. Perhaps we'll work here next. We didn't have a great deal of time to spend so we went to the Roman Baths Museum where parts of the baths have been excavated. The Romans began to build their temple over the heated springs here in the first century AD. Its a really peaceful place and difficult to explain over the internet. Its a must see in England anyway. See our pictures of the Gorgan's Head and some of the mosaic floor tiles.
We both really enjoyed the audio guides too. Bill Bryson (author of " A short history of nearly everything") has made comments. It would take hours to listen to all the knowledge they provide.
The water from the spring was said to have healing properties (apparently healed an emporer's leprosy). It contains 43 minerals and has a really strange taste. Plus its luke warm. Not really pleasant. Greg feels the same as he did before drinking the water.
