Bath, England

Our next stop was Bath, where we toured the ancient Roman Baths at night as they were lit by torches.  With the mood lighting, the steam coming off the pool, and a view of Bath Abbey in the background, let’s just say this was a romantic museum.

The next morning we did what people have been doing for millennia in this city: we took a bath.  Bath Thermae Spa is located in a modern building (see below) not far from the ancient Roman baths.  Together, Luke and I soaked in the warm (92*F) mineral-water Minerva Bath with a lazy river to carry us around the pool; we cleansed our pores in the steam rooms (with four different aromatherapy scents) followed by cold refreshing showers; and we relaxed in the steamy rooftop pool as we looked down on the city skyline below.  True relaxing like the Romans did!

On our last night in Bath we enjoyed a comedy walk through the town.
