Kris here again... so we pick up were we left off...
Aj and i left Cowes for beautiful Bath for 3 days.
After plowing through thousands of Cowes yachts on our ferry and then catching an 100 dollar train we arrived in little old Bath. and that it was, a very quaint, very old town.
There is nothing modern about this place , which only enhances its charm. The little winding cobblestone streets are lined with beautiful antique stores (in which i found my dream closet -Jessi u wld adore it, i got the website- unfortunately i left empty handed, which was pure will power) and occasionally the odd chain store.
Our hostel was pleasant, the YMCA, which was very clean and as opposed to the London hostel it was sufficiently quiet and peaceful. During the next three days me and Al explored the small town, we got lost in bath, went shopping and ate.
The last day we went and saw "the dark knight" in the Bath cinema, very good movie. And at twilight we went to the roman baths, they are over two thousand years old, and because of the time and day, we pretty much had the place to ourselves, which was lovely. The main swimming pool is the one pictured, it is beautiful, the roof is open and the sky, although overcast and slightly dark, let off a very mystical feeling. they have torches lighten all around it and the water is a teal colour, this along with the history makes it really beautiful.
After such wonderful days in bath we hopped upon another train to long Eaton, this is where Al's mate John has been living for the past 6 months on an exchange... and to my great delight it is the crime capital of England. I sleep really well at night as you can imagine.
any way the next blog i imagine will be from aj about his three days (we currently having)with John and Steve... lord help me!!!
anyway missing everyone, please leave comments and tell me how u all are.

Hello Kristie and Al, we enjoy reading your blog and happy that you are having such a great holiday. We miss you a lot and Andi looks at your photo Kristie and says something, not sure what, but at least it keeps you in her memory. She is trying very hard to say words - chatters all the time and growing very fast.
Melbourne has been freezing but the sunshine cannot be far behind now that Spring is getting closer. Glad you are both well and happy and look forward to further adventure stories. Love Grandma & Baba Keith.
