So are people from Bath called Bathers?
Dec. 11th, 2004 06:43 pmWell, I was going to try and upload all my pictures of today's trip to Bath before I left, but with about fifty of them, even cutting out the bad ones, I just don't think that's going to happen. But at any rate, we had a good time; Bath is gorgeous, and even just wandering around was fun. We saw the Roman baths, of course, which were stupendous, and a museum of a Georgian House. Didn't have much time for anything else besides lunch and a little strolling, but that was okay. It's not too far by train; we can come back if we want, which do, I do. I want to get up on one of the hills outside of town and take a picture of all the steeples. Oh, and go to the markets. Heh. The people here who said Bath was more like Continental city than a British one were right...it looked different in some way I can't really put into words.
One cool thing on the way there--we changed trains at Bristol Temple Meads, and there was a steam train waiting at the platform next to ours! We had just enough time to take a few pictures before it blew its ear-piercing whistle and chugged off, passengers hanging out the windows and waving. Very cool.
All right, last minute packing tonight, then a loooooong train ride to Edinburgh tomorrow. I may try to find an internet cafe or use one of the computers with internet access at the hostel, but if not, see you all again on the 20th!
