Bath

We took the train to Bath today - about a 90 minute trip. I had agonized over how to get the tickets - going to numerous websites and never quite going through with ordering them due to indecision and confusion. As it turns out, by getting them at the station (instead of ahead of time as every single website advised), we saved 50%! Of course we saved that much because we're both over 55 but still, at least there's some advantage in getting older!
It was really a wonderful trip. We got to see some of the English countryside on the way and once we arrived, the Roman Baths and the Bath Abbey were only a 5 minute walk. The Roman baths are from about 295AD but weren't discovered until the 1800s. The first King of England (Bladud I think) was crowned here - I can't remember the year but a LONG time ago! The Abbey dates from 973..
