A walk between Romans

The city we chose to visit together in November was Bath. We cough the train for the first time in one of the few foggy mornings.

Echos from Christmas were everywhere in the streets. However, we couldn´t enjoy the market just for being one week early, and so we went first to the abbey, in works, of course. From the inside, I really enjoyed the angels, the main vault, and all the stained glasses although the biggest impact was from the global architecture from outside.

At the same square, it was located the most relevant building of the city as it is the Roman Baths. It´s a tourist overcrowded place but you can spend a few hours enjoying the environment which was a Celtic sanctuary at the beginning, and was transformed into a leisure complex after the Roman invasion. Nowadays is not possible to go into the water, but the great maintenance and explanations of the audio guide allow you to approach the time when those baths served its purposes.

In the afternoon a quick visit to the Pulteney Bridge, one of the few ones in the world that as well as to cross the river, has some shops. We spent some time at the Victoria Art Gallery, a museum with some interesting collections. We left few places to discover as everywhere.

Meanwhile, in Bournemouth, peaceful life continued just destroyed from Monday to Friday from 6am to 6pm thanked to the works in a building in front of our house. Our bedroom walls were really thin and the window insulation null, so it was the morning alarm. Then, the street was blocked due to some works on the pavement and were also doing the job in the night. Hilarious was the person who placed an accent on the diversion indication (in Spanish this word means fun but I can totally ensure that it wasn´t).

By that time we can proudly said that we were living at the Uk´s best seaside town of the year.
