Sunday was a little foggy in Bath to start. This photo was taken of the Parade Gardens by the river Avon as the church bells from both Bath Abbey and St John the Evangelist Catholic Church were ringing. Lovely!
This photo is for our Canadian readers (or anyone who has been to Niagara Falls). It is "The Maid of the Mist" Bath style, just a bit less risky looking going into those rapids under Pulteney Bridge!
We next did a bit of shopping in the shops which line Pulteney Bridge. It just looks like another street here but those shops are on the bridge of the photo above. We headed straight for The Antique Map Shop. Fascinating!
The sun then came out in time for us to see the Holburne Museum, which is situated dramatically at the end of Great Pulteney Street and in front of Sydney Gardens. The museum had some wonderful Georgian and Regency art as well as displays of silver and china, miniatures, and even furniture and jewelry. A small museum just perfect for a quick visit.
Sydney Gardens behind the Holburne Museum is gorgeous and there is a new modern cafe in the back of the Holburne but we couldn't linger as we were off to London again.
We had dinner in an Italian Restaurant near our London hotel and then watched the latest Downton Abbey episode in our jammies.
Fewer steps again today...only 11,136
Cheers!
