Bath - The Ancient City


After breaky we headed off to the ancient roman town of Bath. The Romans established the town in AD 44 and built the extensive baths complex and a temple to the goddess Sulis - Minerva, due to the underground hot springs that surrounded.
The touring group did many things at Bath today, including visiting the baths, shopping, having a long lunch or taking a scenic boat cruise along the Bristol Avon River.
Major fines today will go to Paul 'Bertha' Hyde who lost the Wattlesprigs car. After parking it (the car) near the Wattlesprigs bus Bertha ventured into town with Adam Jackson and Steve Gemmill. After discovering he had forgotten his camera, which was in the car, poor Bertha looked and looked for the car and eventually found it 2 hrs later. Funnily enough it was in exactly the same spot that had left it!
After a day that was 'chockers full of culture' we made our way to Cardiff in Wales.. Cricket today V St. Fagan's for a 1pm start.
