This trip was purely for relaxation. So many times when you travel to somewhere new, you spend most of your time seeing the sights through a camera lens and just going, going, going, until you drop. Not this time. The camera was out some, but mostly tucked away so that we could just enjoy the beautiful weather and sights. 

We took the train and were there in under two hours. 

Here are some shots while walking around town. 

Sausage Cart

The Pump Room used to be the activity hub in Jane Austen's Day. Now it's an expensive tea room

The Roman Baths are surrounded by buildings and if it wasn't for the signs, you'd never know they were there. 

 The Abbey

 There were a couple really neat Churches

Since Bath is a spa destination, there are TONS of shops. Sort of like a beach town.

Just for Danny. Another strangely named pub!

We didn't schedule to go into the Jane Austen museum, but another time!

Lunch at a trendy restaurant called "Revolution."

 Everything was half off all day on Monday!

Thought their chairs and couches were pretty cool!

Funny street names

 Another pub 

The river was so pretty

 The hotel we stayed at. It might not look like much on the outside, but let me tell you, it was great!

For anyone traveling to Bath, I will most definitely recommend this hotel. It was clean, fresh, had a great full English breakfast, and friendly staff

We even had a balcony 

This is the breakfast room

The weather was in the high 60's so everyone was at the park. Some people like this guy just napped wherever they fell.

Which one is it? Old or hard street?

Most of the houses were like this, all connected in a long row

We found this great antique shop 

They had old birdcages! I want one so bad to put candles in!

My dream kitchen hutch!

Would be awesome to hang in a garden!

I'm thinking entryway or mud room

So badly want one

A commode! So funny!

The Crescent (Reminded me of scenes from Oliver) 

On our second day, we went to the Roman Baths

There used to originally be a roof that was 20 meters high!

Water still flows through, but is untreated

The main bath is still warm and can reach up to 98 degrees! They don't like you touching the water as it's untreated and there are old lead sheets lining the pool. Of course, I touched the water anyway!

The colors of the water and stone were amazing

The whole site where the Roman Bath's are located is huge. Archeologists believe that they still have more of the baths to uncover that are buried underneath many of the streets and buildings in Bath today.

This was the cold bath where you'd come and cool down from the hot baths

In this room, the floors were heated by the heat passing through the columns. Historians believe this was the massage room.

This was the bath of the gods. People with ailments would come to this bath because it was believed to have spiritual healing in the water. If you look, you can see where the water used to come to on the walls where the red part is. Pretty high.

These little nooks are were the invalids would be carried and they'd sit with the water all the way up to their necks. The rings on the columns are to hold on to when walking around.

After spending time at the Roman Baths, we headed to a really cool coffee shop for a java break

I had an incredible iced mocha

And the hubby had a flat white

We split a yummy brownie

Then before boarding the train home, we took a lovely walk along the river
