We bathed in Bath!!!

Wednesday, July 7, 2010
Off to see the Roman baths today!! We were there for opening and got in straight away. It was really cool to have a hot spring/roman baths in the middle of a town. It was another self guided tour but it had audio guides so it was neat to follow along and get some history well we at it. Needless to say at the end we were in a little information overload. Although we really, really enjoyed it! Afterwards, we were on the hunt for some creamed tea. It was our mission of the day and was highly recommended by Heather’s family. So, we found a cute little tea shop with an outdoor patio and ordered two creamed teas with scones. Probably the best scone we have ever had in our life. It was hot and came with whipped butter and blackberry jam. It was soo amazing!! Then our second mission of the day was to find yet another camera strap for Heather`s camera. This one ``just broke`` according to Heather. The worst part was, that we had only the same option of camera store companies that we did in Belfast so she had to buy the exact same camera strap. Maybe she`ll have better luck with this one. Here`s to hoping!! We then headed off back to the train station to get ourselves to Plymouth for the night. We were expected to arrive early (4 o`clock) or so and we planned to make dinner, relax and just plan for France. YEAH, FRANCE!!! So tonight was deemed poutine night. We went to the only attraction in town which is the Mayflower steps and then went and got food to cook. We bought fresh chips, babybel cheese (as a sub for curds) and made our swiss chalet sauce for the most incredible poutine ever!! It was amazing...we then grilled up some beef and veggies to balance out the meal.  Along with a cold pint sized can of beer or two we had a fantastic night of relaxing and planning France. Being the worldly people that we are, we bought stewing beef for our stirfry...it was a bit chewy but no worries it didn`t spoil our fantastic meal. I also got to skype with my parents and Heather with Caitlin for a bit so that was a really nice addition to the night. So we take the 8am ferry to Rosscoff then off to Mont-St-Michel...or so we thought...
