This morning we departed on a train for Bath Spa from London Paddington station. Valerie found a very nice bed and breakfast (Hawkins of Bath) in Bath just about 1.5 miles out of the city center. The owners (Glyn and Diane) were extremely nice and the B&B is conveniently located just a block away from a bus stop to the city center.

After arriving, we had just a couple hours before all the tourist spots in Bath closed for the night. We toured the Roman Baths and then stopped by the Pump Room for afternoon tea. Kim had warned me that the Roman Bath water had quite a foul taste, but (in my opinion) it was just slightly less palatable than San Jose water. I’m not sure if this is a compliment for Roman Bath water or a criticism of San Jose water.
