We finally got to take a bath today, just kidding ,we have bathed daily. We drove down to Bath form Oxford, got to tour the Roman Baths and then took one of our own, fed by the same thermal mineral waters that fed the original Roman Baths. See pictures below of the baths and a shot from the roof top modern baths, where we watched the sun set amongst the bubbles. On to London tomorrow, quite a quick pace on this trip! I should note we made a stop in Henley on the River Thames to check in on the Wind In The Willows exhibit. The picture is of the main protagonist, Toad, who needed his fellow furry friend to extricate him from his many capers. The Goddess Minerva, who reigned over the Roman Baths, is represented in the masks in the pictures. The mineral waters in the baths are over 10,000 feet below the surface and flow at over a million gallons a day at a temp of 115 F. They actually have to cool it for use in the modern baths, where we soaked for a while.
