2014 - OCEAN PRINCESS - BATH
Sun 6 Jul 2014
OFF THE OCEAN PRINCESS NOW & ACROSS SOUTHERN ENGLAND TO BATH ....
THIS BRIDGE IS ONE OF ONLY TWO OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD. THE OTHER IS IN ITALY... FLORENCE MAYBE..
I HAD FISH AND CHIPS AT THE LITTLE RESTAURANT BELOW THE BRIDGE ..
THEY BOTH HAVE SHOPS ON THEM.. IN FACT, WHEN YOU WALK ACROSS THE BRIDGE, THERE IS NO TELLING IT IS A BRIDGE AT ALL.
THIS VIEW LOOKING AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE ...
BATH IS JANE AUSTIN COUNTRY & HERE IS WHERE HER SOCIETY HANGS OUT ...
AND THE FAMOUS CRESCENT WE HAVE ALL SEEN IN A MILLION FILMS OR TV SHOWS ...
THIS LAWN IS FOR THE PRIVATE USE OF THE CRESCENT RESIDENTS, & SURPRISE - THE TOURISTS RESPECT THAT..
THE SARACENS HEAD - ONE OF THE OLDEST PUBS IN TOWN.
A PLEASANT EVENING WALK ALONG THE CANAL ....
NOW THE NEXT DAY, EARLY MORNING & I AM SITTING OUTSIDE THE ROMAN BATHS.
I AM SURE I SHOULD BE HERE BEFORE LUNCH ...
I HAD ARRANGED TO MEET TWO COUSINS IN BATH, BUT NEGLECTED TO TAKE NOTE OF THE DAY OR TIME.
A VERY PLEASANT 3 HOURS WAITING FOR THE COUSINS ...
MORE WALKING AROUND
TAKE IN A LITTLE CRICKET ....
THIS WAS A NICE PUB. NOT TOURISTY AT ALL.
LIKE A MODERN DAY ENGLISH LOCAL ..
