Bath Trip - Dec 28th, 05'

The city of Bath, located at Somerset, East of London, is one of a few places in England still could find the trace of Roman Empire and Georgian architecture in the very front of my eye. It is one of the stunning historical site that is listed in U.N. World Heritage Site... The journey from Norwich to this part of English Land took almost 7 hours of drive through wide, properly pave motorway and narrow, mist-shrouded country road. It was an entirely new experience to me because this was the first time and the first place I travelled since I started to work here. Phiew... I got to leave all my work behind and enjoy the fullest in the trip!!

The Bath Abbey, standing bravely without showing aging from half a millenia of natural and human encroach. On the same location, once lied a Saxon Monastery, where the first King of England took throne at 978AD.
















This is a water fountain with some words engravement on the pedastal saying "WATER IS BEST". No one knows when the water start to flow out from the "vase" of that statue. Some folks said it started ever since long ago. Amazing right?

A nice view of the Pulteney Bridge.
