Climbing the stairs of King's Chapel, I ended up at one of the highest points in Cambridge. Amazing.
On Saturday I headed to Bath for a short weekend getaway to see the famous Roman Baths and the place where England's first king was coronated. If you are a Jane Austen fan, then you would know bath from the novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The storyline in these novels are based in Bath and I even had the opportunity to go on a Jane Austen walking tour. The Roman Baths are amazing because it is the location of the sole natural hot springs in all of England. I could actually see the steam coming from the water, and the effects the hot water has on the surrounding rocks. Bath is definitely my favorite city that I have visted so far (other than Cambridge...which doesn't count because I live here). The atmosphere of the city is calm, relaxed, yet enjoyable. The small farmer's markets and quaint shops are quite appeasing to the eye. O yeah, I also visited Stonehenge which was pretty cool. Stayed at the YMCA hostel and ate the best fast food in Bath hahaa.
Overall, an enjoyable experience.
