Who needs a Bath?

We then drove west on towards Bath. As Madeleine, Bronwyn, and Colin tried to find their place in the world on a huge ground map in front of the Abbey, we checked out the Roman Baths and the Abbey.

We took a walking tour of the city led by a lifelong resident, who was informative and patient during the brief but intense rain shower. We walked past the Avon River (different from the one running through Stratford), viewed some gorgeous Georgian homes, past the Assembly Hall, into the Circus and in front of the Royal Crescent.

Our tourguide also loved Jane Austen, and was happy to point out places in the city which Austen mentioned in Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.

We recharged on pasties and pastries and were off to our last stop of the day.
