Yesterday I travelled further west. I've always wanted to pay the town of Bath a visit and with 3 of my flatmates out of town this weekend and the other 2 with friends in town, I decided Saturday was the perfect time for a day trip. The journey to Bath was only 2 hours and a beautiful drive through the English countryside and quaint little towns like Chippenham.
Bath is easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Although it's an ancient town that dates back thousands of years and is full of buildings and architecture that reflect this history, it's full of amazing and high end shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc., which make it an amazing place to visit. I didn't realize how much there'd be to do and see in Bath and left feeling like my five hours in the city weren't enough to explore it all.
I was very relaxed when planning my visit, not really having much of a plan for when I got to the city. As soon as I arrived, I found a cafe with wifi to map out my journey, which included stops at the Roman baths, Royal Crescent, Victoria Park, and Pulteney Bridge. However, along my way, I ran into the cutest shops and found myself wanting to pop in every one of them so I didn't make it to all of the places I wanted to see.
After walking through town and seeing the sites, I stopped into a highly reviewed restaurant, the Blue Quails Cafe, for lunch before leaving town.
