Today was quite the day. When I got up, I did not have much time until it was time to get on the bus for the town of Bath. The bus ride was around two and a half hours but did not feel that long at all. Bath was obviously much smaller than London but seemed decently big. All of the buildings we passed by seemed quite old, and the roads were quite small too. By the time we all got off the bus, it was probably around 11:30 AM. We walked down the small streets until we arrived at the park. The park was small and consisted mainly of just an open field where we sat down to have our sack lunches. Lunch went by quite quickly, and then they had us on the move again as we walked towards the center of town. As we got closer and closer to our destination, it got more crowded. Then we turned a corner, and a square with a massive cathedral came into view. Our destination was not the Cathedral though, it was the roman baths next to it. I walked around the baths in Bath. Looking at the ancient baths and the ruins of the once-great Roman structure was fascinating. Afterward, a few friends and I had a few hours to spare and spent them walking around the city of Bath.
We went to a small café, got some ice cream, and generally just enjoyed the excellent weather as we walked around to town. After a few hours, we were back on the bus for London. Once back, a few friends and I decided to go get some food at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Every table had a grill on it, and you had to cook your food yourself. It was a lot of fun being able to talk to a bunch of friends while cooking the meat yourself. After, we walked around London for a little bit and got some ice cream. Finally, we headed home exhausted and played a few rounds of foosball before going to bed. Overall it was a great day, and one of the most memorable I have had in England so far.
