The baths were built in 75AD! After being used by the Romans, the baths got buried and built upon and they've only recently (maybe 100 years?) were uncovered! The water still naturally flows from deep underground and the whole thing was beautiful.

a roman bath
Out of all the places my mom & I went this week, Bath was my favorite! Maybe I'm biased because I'm Italian, but I love learning anything and everything that's related to Roman times.

I loved Bath! The town/architecture is sooo pretty! I went on my 2nd day to London. I didn't realize it was a 3 hour bus ride from London (I napped the whole way lol)! How did you get there? Being a big group, we took one of those coach buses. Unfortunately, my camera died earlier in the day (too many pictures the day before) so I only have a handful of blackberry phone pics :(
ReplyDeleteWe actually took the train! It took around an hour & a half so it wasn't too bad. There's a school trip there in a few weeks that'll take a coach bus but yikes I had no idea it took that long!
ReplyDeleteI might go again with school because I loved it so much!
Yeah it unfortunately takes 3 hours by bus. I heard that and was all um, what?! But it was 8 am London time, so my body thought it was 3 am U.S. time so I was exhausted so I just took a nap.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go back to Bath! My friend (who was with me on my last trip to London) and I are talking about doing another trip to Europe in May. We wanna do London & Amsterdam again (there was SO much we wanted to do but didn't have time to last time) plus Paris. We'd want to go back to Bath & Windsor, too.
I'd want to explore more of the town. We saw the roman baths and walked a bit around town (not too much, it was raining. Shocker! Rain in England!) but never saw much of Bath, so I'd love to go back and just explore.
