Bath. Home of Jane Austen and the famous Roman Baths! Just like a Roman village.

This afternoon we had just enough time to walk around, checking out some of the small shops and sit in a lovely courtyard listening to live music getting a good feel for the place~ 
Gorgeous shops~
Walking down alley ways~

We finished off the day by sitting on the grass enjoying the sunset~

What I have learned?
I learnt there are only 4 of the original 40 documents of the Magna Carter left in the world, 1 of which is in the Salisbury Cathedral.
