The One With All The Baths

The 'Bath' I'm referring to, is not an activity of cleaning or washing but is a city in the west direction of London. A friend told me that it was a beautiful place and it is near the infamous World Wonder, Stonehenge. Since we were all the way down to London, we thought we might as well take a visit to Bath. So we went.

Indeed, Bath is a beautiful place...

Bath is well-known for its baths. They have all sorts of baths in Bath, from a old Roman bath to a modern Thermae Bath Spa. Maybe because they have natural hot springs around the city that is why baths are such a huge thing in Bath. As a person who doesn't indulge this kind of luxuries, I wasn't too keen about visiting the modern bath. However, when it came to the old Roman bath, it was something I couldn't resist. I had to see how it really looked like inside.

I was fortunate to have gone in during the tour hours. There was so much interesting information about the bath and its architecture. I mean you read about it, you even play games about it (Caesar 3). Roman architecture was ahead of its time. Truly, it was. The way the bath was built was fascinating.

Another reason people visit Bath is because it is near the World Wonder, Stonehenge. There are tours to Stonehenge from Bath each day. Stonehenge is about an hour's drive away. It is actually in a place near Salisbury.

The reason why Stonehenge is such a big deal is because until this day, nobody knew the real reason why it was there. There were theories that it was for rituals and religious purposes. There were even theories saying it is a place for astronomical observation. But I think the most intriguing thing about Stonehenge is how it was built.
