Day 2 : Bath

We woke up at 8am in the morning, packed out stuff and got ready to go for our short UK tour. Abang, shawn's friend, came around to help us in moving Shawn's stuff over to Augustine's place while we tour. Initially, we wanted to tour with our trolley luggages, but Abang gave us a better idea and that was to just stuff as much as we can into out haversack and leave the trolley luggages at his place. That definitely make the trip much easier as we would have less things to carry around. We brought enough clothes to last us till poh's place where we can do some laundry. Abang also lent us his digicam coz Shawn's memory card disappeared even before I was there.

So after taking brunch at his college and leaving out stuff at Abang's place, we set off to the train station to catch a train to Bath. We finally reached Bath at 4.30pm after the 2 hours train ride. We immediately headed to the backpacker's hostel to secure 2 beds for the nite.

It cost us 16pounds each to bunk with 2 other people. There were 2 double-decker beds.

So we took one of them and Shawn had to sleep on the upper deck becos there wasn't any ladder for me to climb up!

After exploring the hostel, we head off to explore the town. Bath is a very beautiful place with all the roman architectures. We wanted to explore the tourist attractions there but unfortunately they were all closed by the time we reached there. We took the city site-seeing bus and travelled round Bath.

We didn't have enuff time to hop on and off the bus as we were already on the very last bus. So we just took the bus back to the place we boarded the bus and decided to look for dinner.

We found a nice and cosy restaurant near our hostel "The Wife of Bath Restaurant". The food was yummy and the servers were really friendly. I felt like I was eating at home.. I realised that I already started to miss my mum's cooking.. After the dinner, we walk around the nearby streets but most of the shops were closing, so we decided to go back to the hostel for shower while waiting for the sun to set so that we could take some night shots.

By 8pm, we were already lying on our beds resting and reading up on the next destination. The sun finally set at around 10.30pm. We were already dozing off by then but we still dragged ourselves off our beds and headed out to take some night shots.

Bath is really beautiful at night with all the lights shining on the roman architectures. But it was really cold, I was almost shivering while taking the photos. We ended the day with 5 night shots after waiting for more than 2 hours for the sun to set. That's the very first time I had to stay up till 10.30pm before the sun sets. Interesting but tiring...
