So far my trip has been full of spontaneous outings, one of my favorites being Bath. As I sat on the train as we zoomed through the countryside, I realised that I knew absolutely nothing about the town we were heading to.

But then I realized that that was okay.

After about an hour and a half, we jumped off the train, none of us with an idea of what to do or where to go. So we began walking. We first came across an antique bookstore on our way into town and of course we had to make a stop. Glancing at the iconic Shakespeare works that we were afraid to touch, in fear it would crumble to dust.

We continue our walk into the center of the town where we were greeted with a beautiful view of the Roman Baths. Though touring the baths was definitely worth the money and I would highly recommend, it was only a tiny part of our long day. Leaving the baths, we fell across a restaurant serving high tea, an English tradition we had yet to try.

We walk into a grand dining room full of people dressed much fancier than us, but nonetheless we proceeded. From my seat I have a perfect view of the shimmering chandelier in the center of the dining room, and a view of the live orchestra about to play.

Our tea arrives in beautiful pots and food the comes on a beautiful tiered platter. As we are eating and enjoying our tea, the waitress comes by at least four times to ask if we need more tea, which we find hilarious. We each had our own giant teapots and we were amazing that people finished multiple pots in one sitting.

We continued to slowly sip our tea, taking in the unique English tradition. We decided on high tea for simply a snack. But little did we know if would be a three course meal, leaving us stuffed.

The next few hours consist of nonstop walking through the rustic town, even making a pit stop at a giant playground, seeming as though we walking around the entire town. Walking til the sun went down and then picking one of hundreds of Italian restaurants to enjoy a bottle of wine.

A day well spent.
