A Visit to Bath

Yesterday we had a day off as I was not too well, but today we moved onto Bristol for the night. We didn't have to go too far but we wanted to visit Bath.
Bristol views across the river Avon


We caught a bus then a train over to Bath as again - No parks for the big beast we are travelling in.

Bath

It was well worth the trip and we enjoyed the town and visiting the Roman Baths there.
The streets and buildings are really well kept and was nice just wandering around the centre of town taking in the sights.

The Baths was a great place to visit. Much bigger than we expected. You take a self guided tour with audio assistance to walk about and see the different places within the building. As we found out they are still excavating around here because it was such a larger place.

The pools are fed by natural hot springs and cold ones for various purposes.

Natural Hot spring



There were numerous pools in the centre some were used 1 was kept solely for the gods.
only for the gods
They also had there own heating room like a sauna fed by slaves heating wood up.
A floor sat on these and underneath was hot air
People also threw money in the pools to gain favor with the gods.  Also they wrote curse to the gods to bring misfortune to thieves or something done wrong to them. That was funny. Generally minor things.
Money collected from excavation

Loved seeing these

Coin well

The Romans really got about and built this place a long way from home. 


76AD earliest record

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...
