Momentary Musings: Baltic Cruise: Bath, United Kingdom

Ok, so Bath wasn't technically part of the cruise, but it was part of the cruise trip. We took the bus back to london from Dover, and then the train out to Bath. The path took us through Reading ... look! there's proof!

Reading Train Station

I was really hoping we'd have time to stop in Reading and send a postcard to Ryan & his parents ... but we didn't have time.

Bath was absolutely beautiful. The weather was nice, and the town was really cute.

At Lunch

We saw Portrait of a Lady at an old theater

We went to the Fashion Museum - which was pretty cool. There happened to be an exhibit on a designer who designed clothes for Marilyn Monroe. The best part of that exhibit was the fabulously gay tour guide - he was so enthusiastic and absolutely in awe of the clothing.

The baths, of course, were a required stop. The exhibit was pretty extensive, with a lot of information about how they were actually used, and what life was like at that time.

Good thing beer rinses out the mouth ...

On our last day, we drove

Yes ... Mom was totally nervous to have me driving on the left

to Stonehenge for special 'Stone Circle Access' tour. That meant that we actually got to go in and among the stones, which was really awesome. There were only about 10 of us in there at the same time, and we actually got to touch the stones. It was really cool.
