Bath and London, August 30 - September 11, 2007 

Four days in Bath and then to London, it felt like going back home when I arrived in London. Especially when my parents arrived to join me for a couple of days before they went on to their European tour.

Friday, August 31, I arrived in Bath a little tired, but easily found my Bed & Breakfast, Three Abbey Green, it was wonderful.

After a very full English breakfast at the B&B, I went on a free tour of the city conducted by volunteers. It was recommended by the B&B owners, and I agree! We started out by the Bath Abbey.

200 year old carved graffiti on Palladian Bridge - somehow if it was just a few months old, it wouldn't be so charming  :)
