It was a beautiful city with lots of stone architecture. The picture to the bottom right is of Bath Abbey or Abbey Church of St. Peter & St. Paul. The building was also a former monastery.
Isn't the area beautiful!? I don't believe I snapped a picture of it but we did drive by an apartment that belonged to Nicholas Cage and his family.
Isn't the inside the Abbey breathtaking?!
We also couldn't pass up the chance to tour the Roman Baths.
This was a model of what it would have looked like. The first temple was built somewhere between 60-70 AD.
Below is sample of some of the coins that have been found in the baths.
You could actually see the steam coming off of the water. They said the temperature ranges anywhere from 64-96 degrees Celsius. I'll be honest, I love a bath and this water was super tempting! ; )
At the end of the tour they gave everyone a sample of the water to drink. Yea, it was gross. Who likes hot water, but we did it anyway! : )
Below is a picture of our tour bus we road around Bath in. It's kinda like the open top buses you see in New York. Since our time was short in each city this was the quickest way we could get an overview of the whole city in a short amount of time. Ms. Gayra & I actually loved it, but Benjamin....not so much. He just wanted to walk and wonder. : )
Yummy Fudge store in Bath! Every chance we got we would stop in somewhere for hot coffee.
The shopping in Bath was a treat! Super nice stores. I think we all bought something in the North Face Store. When you're freezing your booty off you're even more likely to give them business. : )
You can't tell it in the picture on the bottom right but it was snowing!
