Off to see the Roman Bath's

Bath day, off to see the Roman bath's, the reason Bath exists. Started in 64AD. The mineral (heated water) makes its way to the surface along a crustal fracture. The self guided tour was well worth the cost of admission. Very goo holographs.

Had lunch at Sally Lunn's..where the Sally Lunn bread comes from. The recipe dates back to the 1400's. The recipe stays with the building, so when the building is sold, the new owners inherit the recipe. They have a museum, as part of the shop. The custodian informed us that in the early 1900's the then owner migrated to either NZ or Australia and voila we got our version of the Sally Lunn. The difference between NZ's and the original is the original doesn't have icing and coconut shavings on top and raisins in the bread.

The afternoon was spent sitting in the sun on the river Avon (one of 6 or 7 river Avons in the UK). Meet a pug called Noah. His owner runs a store called "Pugs and Puffins", which we visited later in the day.

Saw there was an hour river cruise. So we went, nice and relaxing.

Got back, visited "Pugs and Puffins". Then bak to the BnB.
