One very early morning it was time for a weekend of travelling again! Our destinations this time: Bath, Stonehenge and Avebury. I’ll write about Bath in this post, Stonhenge and Avebury will follow soon!
Bath is a very old city (even the Romans lived here) located in the Southwest of England, not very far from London. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the name Bath is derived from the baths that have been here since the Roman times – there are hot water sources in the city. If you love vibrant and lively metropolises, Bath may not be the place to go. However, it has beautiful old houses and with its charm even attracted the famous author Jane Austen (yes, the Lady who wrote “Pride and Prejudice” amongst others). Indeed, if I had been there for a few more days I would have probably found inspiration for many more blog posts. Perhaps next time I’m in a creativity low I shall return to Bath.
The most inspiring places (if you’re not looking for inspiration, these are also the most touristic places) include the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent. I also enjoyed the view on the river Avon a lot.
In terms of sight-seeing, one day is enough to see the touristic things in Bath. In the evening we had dinner at the Turkish restaurant Marmaris, which I can recommend just like the YMCA hostel where we stayed for the night. At the hostel I met a girl from South Korea who was travelling across Europe all by herself. Wow, that’s courageous! I’m not sure if I’d dare to travel around Asia on my own. Hostels are always a great opportunity to meet interesting people.
That’s it for Bath, the next morning we left to Stonehenge and Avebury. Read about it here soon!
