Today we took the train from Clapham Junction to Bath -about 2 hours. Started with a little confusion...no train to Bath on the departure board..sort help, sorted. Then the train is to divid in Salisbury...with half going on to Bristol and Bath and the other half who knows where... finally got it sorted..and off we go.
Arrived in Bath, sunny and very warm,. Great.
Found our airBnB settled in and went exploring..found the home of the Sally Lunn. Used to eat these all the time at school and uni. Will need to go back and visit the pace, it has a museum.

Now it was time to "take the waters", after all this home to the Roman baths. Water is heated subsurface and follows a fault to the surface, creating a hydro spring. While you can't bath in the Roman spa, you can in the 21st Century equivalent; the Thermae Bath Spa. She who cannot be named was quiet dean to pay it a visit. It costs 44 pounds per person for a 2 hour session. We really enjoyed the experience, especially outdoors on the roof top spa watching the sun set. They have a whole level dedicated to sauna's. Something we discovered towards the end of our session. Overall a great night.
Now, something about our accommodation. We are on the first level of 18th Century Georgian (grade 11) house. It was built around 1765.
Tomorrow we are off on a day tour that includes Stonehenge ,so an early start.
Our digs
