From Windsor Castle, the bus drove us about two hours west to Bath. Bath has a pretty interesting history. Back when England was part of the Roman Empire, the Romans built Roman baths from the hot springs. They must have had pretty big families, because those baths were pretty big. The Great Bath was the first thing we checked out when we arrived.
Mama's favorite author, Jane Austen, lived in Bath for a while and wrote some books there. We paid homage by going to the Jane Austen Centre and perusing the book store there. If we'd had more time, we would have gone through the museum, but the bus wasn't willing to wait for us.
We did get to walk through some of Bath's streets. We walked past Sally Lunn's, home of the apparently famous Sally Lunn's Buns. It's been around since 1680, so maybe even Jane Austen enjoyed a bun or two. There was a line out the door waiting for buns, though, and the bus was getting anxious, so we missed our chance to try a 300 year old bun.
