Living in Europe for a year gives you the opportunity to travel all over on weekend trips and such! In attempts to travel not only Europe, but also England, a friend and I decided to travel to Bath for a weekend. We looked into what there was to do in Bath and made a pretty long list that we ended up We had researched things to do in Bath and came back with a plethora of places to go!
We left Saturday morning from Norwich and unfortunately, they were working on the railroads so getting to London was a little more difficult than usual. We finally got to London Liverpool station but then they were working on the Tube as well so we were a little worried we were going to miss our train from London to Bath. Luckily, we got to London Paddington just in time and got on the train to Bath, which is only about an hour and a half. When we rolled up to Bath, both Marissa and I got so excited because it looked so beautiful even from the train station! We walked to our Hostel, dropped our bags off, and then hit the town to explore!

Our first stop was the Roman Baths, which is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Bath, but we were there to be tourists! The Baths were amazing and I couldn’t believe how warm the water was and how beautiful all the architecture was. It was also amazing how close Bath Abbey was placed to the Baths and how elaborate the structures were. It took about 3 hours to do the Baths so after we found a cute Italian restaurant with amazing food!

On Sunday we woke up super early and made our first stop the Jane Austen Center. We did some shopping and had tea at the Regency Tea Rooms! The tea was amazing and we felt that Mr. Darcy was going to walk in at any moment! We then walked to Bath Abbey and attended their choral service, which was beautiful! For lunch, we went to Sally Lunn’s Bakery and tried her famous buns, which lived up to their expectations! We then made our way over to the Holburne Museum and Sydney Gardens and crossed the Pulteney Bridge, which is a “twin sister” of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
On Monday, our last day in Bath, we did some shopping and went to the Fashion Museum. The museum was quite interesting and their collection was impressive. We then caught our train home and didn’t have any travel problems on the way back!
