Bath, England

Hi everybody! So we arrived at our first destination, England, yesterday evening and stayed with Camilla's aunt at her home in Guilford. After our first slightly jetlagged night, we woke up this morning at 1am (American time) and hopped onto a train headed to Bath (pronounced Both in England, according to Elena.)
We assumed that we would be able to actually bathe in the hot springs that make up the Roman baths and came equipped with bikinis and towels. As we should of known, it was a museum, DUH, and we realized how much we have to learn. Other than that, the Roman baths were pretty incredible and we saw some beautiful Roman artifacts. We also got to drink a bit of the water as we left, which made up for the no bathing rule, but tasted absolutely disgusting! We walked around the beautiful town of Bath for the rest of the day and saw some amazing street performers. We left Bath, and after doubting our choice of train when our train reversed and started going the complete opposite direction, we arrived in Cheltenham, The Cotswalds, and were graciously picked up by Camilla's grandad. So that was day number 1 of our gap year!
