2 days in Bath

We started with a trip to Salisbury- Stonehenge. It was a rainy day and the sky was grey with looming clouds. Visiting Stonehenge under these circumstances was atmospheric, to say the least.

In fact, the wind was so strong that we were blown sideways and forwards while we were walking around.

Luckily, it was bright and sunny on our second day. We walked around Bath and wandered round the area near the river avon.

We went to Bath Fashion Museum, then to Bath Abbey.

Tea at the Tap Room
We ended our trip with high tea at the Tap Room. That was the part where we intended to bust our budget. The setting and the atmosphere inside was fantastic! The service though, was slow and a bit snobby- perhaps because we looked like (and really were) budget conscious students.
