Bath
Well that was fun! I left an hour earlier than I planned and alone and got there fortyfive minutes later and in a party of five. I woke up early so I decided to go on the 833 train to Bath instead of the 933. The fare was only 8.50! So as I was a bit early I got a yogurt and sat on the benches. Ten minutes before the train was to leave, four of the other people staying at St. Peters showed up at the trainstation. Aparrently they wanted to go to Bath too and had heard that I was taking the train. So we said hello and discussed what we wanted to see. It turned out that what I wanted to do did not really over lap with them so we were basically just traveling there together. We got on the train and off at our switch. I looked at the schedule and our connecting train went from delayed to cancelled in the space of five minutes. the next one wasnt for another hour... I should have slept in. We kill an hour at the trainstation and just as we are about to get onto the next train we see charles who is going to bristol on the same train. We get on the train and it is packed. Standing room only because the first one was cancelled. I spent forty minutes standing in the little space between the car and the dining area with four other people.... fun.

We get to bath and have some lunch. Over lunch we discuss the things we plan to do. All I wanted to do was go to the Baths and to the costume museum and maybe see if the balloon rides were running. They wanted to go to the jane austin museum and have a high tea. We went our separate ways and they did go to the baths but we must have missed each other because I didn't see them again until i got back. I asked the tourist info about the baloons but they said it was too windy. So then I went pretty much straight to the baths and stayed there for at least two hours. Amazing. Great audio tour. just amazing. I bought the joint ticket that gets you into the costume museum too so I went there afterwards, stopping at several shops on my way up the hill. Bath has a lot of fashion shops and none of those fashions like me so I didn't spend too much time. The fashion museum was awesome and I was there for two and a half hours until the lady tapped me on the shoulder and said that the museum was closing in five minutes.

I wandered back down and cought a few more shops before they closed and went back to the train station and immediately found a train to the switch and as soon as I got there, boarded a direct train to oxford. When I returned we watched a movie and now I am going to bed. I think I may catch a bus to london tomorrow. I am hoping to find another day to go as well.
