Bath town

We stayed at St Christopher's Hostel in Bath which was a nice laid back place to stay. The dorm rooms weren't as nice as the ones in Paris but you still got a locker each and super cheap hot breakfasts so we loved it. We also had a yummy dinner in their restaurant our first night in Bath AND they had midori so i was happy to stay put for the whole two days. However we managed to drag ourselves away from the hostel to see the Roman Baths, there was a lot more to see than i thought there would be. It's not just a giant Bath, its a whole underground system and lots of artifacts that have been dug up as well as skeletons of Romans and included in the price is a glass of the ancient Roman spring water which was disgusting and very warm.
We spent the rest of our time in Bath walking around the streets and browsing through the shops. We saw the Circus and the Royal Crescent which are architectural areas. The Circus is a group of buildings that look like a key from above and the Royal Crescent which according to my google research is one of the worlds best known landmarks (although i didn't know about it until i was in Bath).
