Bath

[wellinghall]

Bath - roman baths (including beautifully carved tiny carnelians) - statue of Julius Ceasar looks just like his Asterix cartoon - new spa (with rooftop pool) - abbey (memorial tablets) - royal crescent (too many plate glass windows) - circus (no jugglers, clowns, acrobats) - no 1, royal crescent (reconstruction of C18 gentleman's house) - assembly rooms - fashion museum (nice waistcoats) - shopping - world's best bookshop (Mr B's, John Street) - meeting firin and toryin - food - more food - yet more food.

B&B - large Georgian house 1 mile south of city centre - large room - bed far too comfy, leading to over-sleeping - breakfasts far too good, leading to over-eating - odd selection of books in room - nice hosts (he is a sculptor - busts all over the place).

Wells - long bus trip - stunning cathedral - like the arches - love the clock - impressive bishop's palace - vicar's close - wow!

Ceasar?!

We're looking at Wells. Is it easy to get to from Bath?

How come one of your holiday posts is locked and the other isn't?

Glad holiday was good.

Yeah, or Kaiser, or something like that ... Wells is a 1hr 20min bus ride from Bath, with a bus every hour; or probably 45 minutes in the car - the bus kept going off the main road.

One of the posts is locked 'cos it has pictures of people in, and I don't like to scatter them too liberally round the internet.

I like your icon ;-)
