Hmmm... what is there to say about Bath. Well, Bath is an amazing city complete with Georgian architecture and the Roman Baths. This was the last field trip that was included in our program, but my favorite so far. We got there in the morning and went to the Roman Baths first. Our tour was called a 'guided tour', however, our guides resembled the large, 80s style cel
l phones. There were numbers around all the exhibits and if you pressed them in, random information would come out of the speaker. Needless to say, I gave up on using it after the first exhibit. It was a pretty cool exhibit, but easy to walk to though pretty fast! After we left there, Leslie, Ben and I headed up to the "circus" which is a roundabout of Georgian style houses by architect John Wood. They were really cool houses and the chimneys reminded me of Mary Poppins. We then headed back down the street to the Jane Austen Centre. This was about Jane, her family, and their time they spent in Bath. It was a really interesting exhibit, partially because I love Jane Austen. After that we headed to the Bath Abbey, which was right by the Roman Baths. This abbey had amazing ceilings and incredible stained glass windows. It also contained tombs and memorial tombs. We had about an hour before our bus left, so
we decided to go have high tea at one of the shops. We ended up having cream tea, which is tea, a scone, clotted cream, and jam. I was a little skeptical of the clotted cream, but it was really good and something I shouldn't have in any excess amount! That was pretty much my experience in Bath, but I would like to go back sometime and just walk around the city.
