Leaving for Bath and London

Bath Travel Blog › entry 5 of 7 › view all entries

I've been to England to see my friends whom I met while traveling in Siberia last year. It was not as adventurous as traveling in developing countries, but very nice to see friends again, and visit one of my friend's hometown Bristol and London!

Leaving for Bath and London

I left Bristol early in the morning to Bath. I took a train from Bristol temple meads station, which seemed old and classic, very nice. The national railway here is very expensive. From London to Bristol it was about two hours costed almost 100USD! It would be at most 50USD in my country I think.

Then, I arrived at Bath and found my self as if I were in Italy. There are lots of Roman style buildings. I was wondering if they were built in that way after the Roman Baths were found in underground or not. They were in a museum. It was a very organized museum and I felt kind a dissapointed becuase I wished half or it were covered underground or something to keep an atomasphere somewhat of remains.

Oh well, baths were good in whole. It seems a good culture to have baths in a common place so that people could communicate each other no matter generation or gender. There were kind a bench along a bath, so that people would have sat and relaxed to talk. I love taking a bath, and think it would be very nice to have a big bathtub with Roman or Greece statues like I'd seen there.

After the Roman Baths, I've been to the Circle and the Royal Crescent. There were very elegant carved  apartments. In the Circle, four carved apartments were there to face each other in a circle. There were unique logo tiles on the middle of the front of the amartments. You cannot find same logo in a circle. The Royal Crescent was a long carved apartment in the front of which there were beautiful wide greenwards. I wanted to see a museum about living space in old times, but unfortunately it had been closed during winter. 

I waked around the city, and seen a market, grocery store, museum, nice Roman hotel, and bridges on a river. The city was small enough to see in a day. A bridge consists of small shops reminds me of Veccio bridge in Florence. Bath made me want to travel in Italy again which was the first foreign country I've been to.
