Early in the morning, on the way from our B&B to the town centre, we stumble upon this buzy farmers market and bought heaps of goodies!!
Every town / city in Europe seem to have the big red double decker open top tourist bus! Since we like Bath so much that we return a 2nd time, we figure...why not! We did both a tour of Bath City, and bigger tour of the surroundings of Bath, which include the University of Bath... the alma mater of some that I know people. The natural and man-made beauty that we otherwise would not be able to see on feet is definitely worth the 12 pounds for the bus fare.
For tea, it was the famous Lunn Bun shop (Bath's famous bun)...very yummy! The restaurant is also in the "Oldest house in Bath", and has a kitchen museum in it....apparently where Sally Lunn originally baked these buns.
We visited the Royal Cresent again, and gained entry to Number 1, Royal Crescent...a now-museum on how the houses in Bath would look like in the olden days. Glad that we did this tour now as the house is suppose to close for a 2 year renovation starting the end of the year. We also discovered the very interesting fact that the big green field in front of the Royal Crescent is divided into 2 parts by a small cliff, with the restricted access to the upper part, and only available to people who live in the Royal Crescent. Well, I guess that's the advantage of living in one of the most expensive streets in Bath. While we were lazing around on the field...a few hot air balloons took off, just behind the Royal Crescent...reminds me of the day about a year and a half ago...when he wanted to pop the question. Hehe..:)
Unfortunately, we couldn't climb up the tower of the Bath Abbey as bells were ringing the whole day...now, what's that all about??? And on the next day, which is a Sunday, there's church service in there so we will miss out again. Ah well, another reason to come back to this quaint town I suppose.
And to end the day, dinner at a romantic restaurant overlooking the river :).
