THE STORY OF BATH

The Legend

Using acorns to tempt his pigs out of the warm bubbling mud, Bladud noticed their skin disease had gone. Perhaps this could help me he thought, as he jumped into the mud. Emerging, he found that his chronic leprosy had been cured. Elated, he realised he could return to his father, King Hudibras who had banished him because of the disease. He became King and in 863 B.C. founded Caer Badon (City of Bath). He then sired King Lear of Shakespeare fame before killing himself in an attempt to fly with home made wings!

The Reality

The early Celts were in awe of this place of hot bubbling marshes and the red rocks caused by iron oxide deposits. They dedicated it to their god Sulis who daily poured forth a quarter of a million gallons of water at 46C from rain that fell 10,000 years ago on the Mendip Hills.

Virtual Tour

Some photos have been taken in Bath:

Bath is a nice place to visit and since this is a place for tourism, it open as usual on Sunday too! As you can find out from Virtual Tour, shops located inside Bath are more or less the same with what you can see in most city centres like those in Sheffield and Manchester. We got a copy of Bath's map and a sheet of brousher which those interesting places are marked and its history is explained.

When we walk along the Gay Street, we saw a women carrying a rotten basket standing outside a shop. Jane Austen! She dressed like Jane Austen! But actually we don't have any ideas on who is Jane Austen, we just get the information from an advertisement displayed. My friend took 2 photo shots of her by using his brand new Nicon Digital camera and then we continue our exploring. After we reached to Circus, my friend suddenly said that he wants to take a photo with Jane Austen, but everything is so late, the really Jane Austen has turned into a costume, Then my friend said that he don't have the mood to take any other photos. (But i think he is purposely give himself an excuse for not spending too much battery power on us!)

After our whole day exploring in Bath, we returned at about 6:00pm this day and reached at Norfolk Park at about 10:30pm.
