115 - wed aug 23 - bath

we got up early and caught the bus into bath. we grabbed some pasties and wandered around the old town with its shops, had coffee et cetera. we cancelled our earlier plans to check out the old roman baths when we saw how busy it was, and instead spent an hour or so in the marvellous bath abbey and its catacombs. it was grey and drizzly - we abandoned an attempt to find the city's 'assembly rooms' when the rain started to really pour down and ended up huddling under an enormous tree until the rain passed. by this time the crowds at the roman baths had died down so we checked it out. then, after a late lunch (5 pm) we headed back to camp by bus, this time taking the scenic route because we didn't recognise where our bus stop was the first time we passed it.
