I slept in till 11:00! Could not believe it. I have been going to bed around 12:30-1:30, and waking at 8:00am, so guess its catching up with me. I missed the free breaky, so I decided to do some shopping at Marks and Spencer's. What a great place! Then off to the Huntsmen pub for a ploughman's lunch and a bottle of Balmer's. It was pouring buckets, the cobblestone streets were like rivers, so I went and bought a pair of wellies. They are so comfy and tall. I think they are going to be great for all the rain we get back home. I decided, since it was pouring and windy to take a bus tour. One went up the hill, so that you could get a view of Bath - not today, but I did see Bath University, and old dueling grounds. As well, some of the most spectacularly expensive and beautiful homes. The other tour went round the city. I saw where Nicolas Cage lived (until he has money trouble). I also saw John Cleese's place. There was also a pub (now I've forgotten the name) where famous bands play, unannounced - like Oasis, Coldplay, etc. It's supposed to be a great venue.
Later I found myself at the Bath Thermae Spa - I had a mini facial and 2 hrs to laze about in the spa. I swam in the rooftop pool, overlooking the Abbey, had a relaxing time in the steam rooms, and almost fell asleep in the Minerva Bath. I was pretty hungry after all of this relaxing so I went to quite possibly the best Thai spot ever. It was so elegant, and me in my wellies and wet hair :) Wandered a bit and took some night time photos - it was so quite out, no one around, perfect picture taking opportunity. Tomorrow I plan on going into the actual Roman Baths, and will take a "Hilarious Bath" Comedy tour later in the evening. Toodles!!!!!
