Hi from Sunny Olde England (just joking, though it is sunny at the moment)
I arrived on Saturday at 5am (UK time); it was so much better travelling Premium Economy - more comfortable seats, wider and much more legroom, as well as delicious food. Baggage collection and through Immigration in less than an hour. I caught the Heathrow Express to Paddington and then the train to Bath, arriving around 9 am (3 hours before I could actually check in. That meant going for a bit of a wander, buying a mobile phone, having breakfast and then back to Royal Park Guest House. I have to confess that it took me 2 days to figure out how to use the mobile only to discover that I hadn't brought my brother and sister-in-law's phone number with me. I had to email them to ask for it. However, I eventually figured out how to ring them and had about a 20 minute chat.
Yesterday, I went to the Jane Austen Centre, which I very much enjoyed, followed by more walking (my legs and feet keep telling me how unfit I am). My sleeping is still somewhat erratic, but I'm becoming more adjusted. Today, I am taking it a bit easier. I still haven't been to the Roman Baths, but I may do that tomorrow - you have to get there early in the day, as there are long queues after about 9.30. I'll probably take a City Tour bus ride this afternoon. I haven't taken many pictures yet (only 3 so far) but plan to take some more on the bus tour. I'm so glad I have 5 nights in Bath (last year it was only 2) as I have more time to wander around and take in the old architecture as well as a leisurely stroll by the Avon River.
Well, time for some lunch, I think.
Cheers,
