"Sunday I had to get early as we had planned a trip
Me and Amanda and her friend Catherine and Jonathon and Ben from the hostel went to Bath
Bath is absolutely beautiful
I don't think my photos quite do it justice but I hope you get the idea
We had lunch in a pub and took an open top bus tour
Emily Bronte spent a lot of time there as did heaps of other famous people
The thing that kind of put things in perspective by way of time
was that we drove past the house where Captain Arthur Phillip
lived before he took the first fleet to Australia!"

A map of the Bath area

A map of Bath city centre
showing many of the places Tanya saw during her bus tour
(due to the nature of this map, it had to be scanned at a high resolution
and is therefore a 'big download' and may take an extra minute or so before displaying)

Shows 'eight places of interest'

Aerial view of the Royal Crescent and the Circus (fabulous shot!!!)

Bath Abbey

"Anyway.we had lunch at a pub and toured the Baths and toured Bath Abbey
I will say now that I did swear inside the Abbey when I walked in and looked at the stained glass windows
I think it was something like "Holy Shit"
Sorry Mum!
I got postcards and brochures too so they will all be posted with the photos"

Roman Baths

"I was walking around the Roman Baths on original stones and paving that date back to 4th Century AD
It was quite amazing to think about
I took a photo of a mosaic that was about the same age too - we could actually touch it!
It was great"
