Bath



This was the late afternoon view from our hotel room.



The Roman Baths - these are not Romans.




I love a good boat ride. We went on a Pulteney Cruiser. There were tons of people rowing boats on the River Avon (not, the guide stated emphatically, the Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon... there are 7 different Avons in Britain don't you know because the word Avon is an old Saxon word for river. There, I learned something.) who clearly were even less talented at rowing than me. This resulted in some near misses and a head on collision which then caused a bit of an altercation between the young men on the rowing boat and the men on the cruiser, who I wouldn't have messed with, especially as their boat was 20 times the size of the row boats. Anyway, apart from that, it was very relaxing and we saw lots of ducks and a swan family with cygnets.
