It's Bath Time!

The City of Bath was founded upon natural hot springs that are said to have healing powers given to them by the Gods. By drinking the water and/or even simply drinking from the hot springs, it was said to make you live longer and look younger (I drank two glasses of this water, so we’ll see how well I age).

 The Roman Baths were constructed around 70 AD as a socializing area for queens and kings around the area. 1, 170, 000 liters of hot spring waters rise, run down and fill the bath site every single day.

There are many heated pools squared around the main Roman Bath and this main hot spring is not for drinking. Since this pool is unsanitized, unfiltered, and untreated, it’s safe to say that drinking this water is not for drinking, unless you enjoy the taste of bird droppings.

The City of Bath is a hot spot for tourists to come visit the market shops, enjoy natural ice cream and the Bath Abbey is just to the left of the Roman Baths. The Bath Abbey was the final vision of Oliver King, who had the dream of angels ascending and descending into heaven. The architecture is Victorian Gothic style. The Bath Abbey was the last medieval church built in England.

The City of Bath is filled with hills and so many beautiful buildings with stunning architecture that easily attracts tourists. The day we went to the City of Bath was a moderately hot and sunny day, perfect for us South Texans but not for the locals. Ice cream shops were packed all the way outside of the door. I guess you can say it was perfect day for a Bath.
