Bath

We had 2 full days in London. 1 days for the city and another one for an excursion. Cause Allysa said she must go to see Stonehenge, so we just join this Bath+Salisbury+Stonehenge excursion. I booked it from www.viator.com, the trip cost us about USD73++.
The departure point was at Victoria Coach Station, just 2 mins walks from our hostel. We board to this nice and clean coach. Our tour guide was a typical british gentleman. I love his ascend. :) Just like Harry Potter movie.
The bus was equip with GPS. The excursion fees of USD 73 is not included entrance fees. We need to pay additional GBP20 for the entrance fees. Anyway you can choose not to paid if you are not interest to go inside . But for us,since we already had a long way here, we paid it. And it worth it.
Bath (strange name ya)- One of the UNESCO World Heritage side. One of the most beautiful city in the world. Below was the famous ring road inside this city. Some of the famous actor own a house here. Its not cheap, it can simply cost you 2million pound per house!
Entrance to Roman Bath. This place been discover due to the hot spring which can heal various disease. Roman people build a temple and its become some famous vacation area for soldiers and royalty during that time.
Each statue around the pool represent a great man, such as Caesar.
Some ruins discovered...Just imagine how nice the original temple was.
Each of us were given an audioguide.What make me happy was they had chinese languague. :) Its a good tool to explain in details on what you had seen in the museum. However you wouldn't had enough time to explore it one by one. It may took you whole day time!
Walked like a romans on ancient stone pavements. Enjoy the magnifying architecture.
Feel the people who had been here for more than 2000 years!......gelinya when i saw this 3D effect.
There was a park in the city. We planed to visit it but later we found out it charges entrance fees. hmm...forgot about it.
We had about half an hour to explore the city on our own. i only slowly discover its beauty now. Whole city was build by the same kind of stone. They had same color tones and texture.
With the flower blooming every way, it make Bath looked class and peaceful. You wont shout or yell here. Even when we spook, we soften our voices.
Wow, a telephone booth! Is this the secret visitor entrance to ministy of magic?
As usual, you can found cathedral every way in Europe.
Another entrance to Roman Bath.
A beautifully crave fountain.
I like the kid! Took the photo from bus when he running towards his mum.
Bath was build on a hill, the most stunning view was when we leave the city and departure to Salisbury. When our coach turn into some mountain road, you can saw whole bath at you left hand side.Wow, it just look like heaven. Unfortunately i was unable to take the picture, it is because i am sitting on the right side of the coach! So tips for you, sit at the left side if you join this excursion. Now i know, why Bath had been elected as UNESCO World Heritage side. Its really be a reason!
