Saturday, 26/7 -- Visit to Bath

Today, we were required to wake up nice and early in order to ensure that we got to Highfield Interchange in time to catch a bus to Southampton City Central, to in turn catch a train to Bath. Unfortunately, my corridormates (I'm Samuel) woke up a little bit (actually a lot) on the late side again, and thus we had to wolf down our breakfast at superhuman speeds. In spite of this, the travel to Bath generally went quite nicely, and we got to view what the English countryside was actually like as the train we were in sped northwards towards Bath.

When we got to Bath, we were instinctively guided towards the Sally Lunn Restaurant, the oldest house in Bath. It offered both magnificient architecture and absolutely delicious food (((: In fact, the sandwiches, buns and tea were so good, this was incontrovertibly the best meal I have had since stepping into the United Kingdom. I am very sure that Cherie, Bryan, Kin Chun, Mr Chong and Ms Tang will agree as well. x)

Moving on, we visited the famous and single defining attraction of Bath, the Roman Baths. It boasted intricate and unique Gerogian architecture that belonged to the era of yesteryear. Therefore, it was certainly an eye-opening experience, as we also got to learn more about the history of the Baths through the handy audio guides we were provided with for the selfguided tour around the Roman Baths.

Subsequently, we were allocated lots of free time for shopping, and thus the group split up and many splinters of the group proceeded to wander off into centre of town to see what else Bath has to offer. Unfortunately, (and I am sure that many can vouch for this too) Bath does not have many good deals to offer... as the shops sell products that are way out of our budget. Nevertheless, it was a fun and interesting shopping experience as we covered every inch of the shopping district in search of potentialy good deals.


The group met back at the train station at 6pm, before taking a train back to Southampton. It had been an eventful day, and I am sure that we would all be looking forward to the tour of the Southampton City Centre tomorrow too! :D
