The beautiful city of Bath, mostly famous for
its Roman Baths, no surprise there. However defiantly was not expecting to
appreciate the entirety of the city, upon driving into the city everything
looked the same but was gorgeous. It was nice to get out of the hustle and
bustle of London and go out to the countryside to a small town. Being
surrounded by buildings and skyscrapers was getting a little claustrophobic,
and while driving out to Bath it was nice to see something outside of the city.
All the green hills and cows and trees, defiantly and beauty you don't see in
San Diego. Upon arriving in Bath the whole city just screamed rich and fancy,
and was actually very busy (mostly because of tourists) but seeing the
buildings and the Roman Baths and the history that it has seen was impressive.
London has some history too but since the Romans sort of paved their way
through Britain (literally paved their way through, with the roads they
created) it was cool to actually see something that they created. Almost like a
little Rome right there in Britain. I was however a little disappointed that
the only original pieces were underground, and just the walkways. But that was
just because I didn't know that it had been covered and rebuilt which was
actually pretty cool that they were able to find and uncover such a historic
artifacts. Seeing this visual was a good history lesson and a different side of
visual that you wouldn't get by just seeing the city. The city of Bath, being
an hour away from London, seemed like its own little world out there in the
countryside. Then seeing the Roman Baths and what it used to look like when it
was built and how it looks now, its like seeing a different world in a small
world. Roman inspired buildings surround by typical English style was very eye
appealing. Although not gonna lie, was more excited about the fact that Jane
Austin lived there and there was a little museum right next to the Roman Baths.
However after spending and unfortunate small amount of time in Bath, I didn't
want to leave. Bath gave off an atmosphere that was relaxed and soothing, even
though surrounded by tourists it was still a nice little retreat that I want to
go back to one day.
