Time does fly by quickly. We have been in England now for 1 month and a bit and Christmas is just around the corner. We are starting to get used to the weather here althought i didn't mind it that much in the beginning. It is just that when it is really cold, you wish you had thicker or worn more layers.
We have been to Bath and the city is beautiful. It took us about 45 mins on the bus. We visited the Roman bath and althought it costs us £9 each it was worth it. The admission price included a device which has built in commentary of the different areas and artifacts on display. It was entertaining and informative.
Because we only made it to Bath around midday, we were restricted on where we could visit. We choose the Roman and a free guided walk tour of the city. It was brilliant, because if we were to walk around ourself, we wouldn't learn alot about the surrounding. The tour is hosted by retired citizens of bath. It is similar to the tours we had in the War memorial and old parliment house in Canberra. Suprisingly, on the tour, all the visitors were Australians. There were about 10 of us.
It was a cold day that day and perfect for walking. The tour lasted about 2 hours which took us to about 4pm where we went on to catch the bus back to Bristol.
I will upload some of the bath and bristol photos to our website very soon.
Yesterday morning. We were walking down to the city to watch "the Incredible" and to visit the "slow food market". After walking a few paces we noticed that there are white things covering cars along the street. At first we didn't know what it was, it is snow or frost? Then we touched it and by its texture and it's whitness, it is snow. It was amazing, SNOW. even though this is not the first time i have seen snow, this is the first time i have seen snow on ground level, not having to go up some mountain. It was incredible, the thought of snow falling down while we were sleeping. I don't want to lose this sense of awe.. also when we walk anywhere, i always like to look at the buildings. This place is beautiful. The buildings.
A few days ago, the world highest road brigde in France was opened and it is absolutely stunning, imagine driving your car on the bridge. I am suprised sometime why I didn't continue with my civil engineering study.
You know what would be more wonderful. Snow falling from the sky, that i have never seen.
While at the market, the guy who sells fish told us that it would be nice to take a drive down to exmoor as you can see snow covering the fields. i could just imagine it. it was a beautiful day too with the Sun shinning. Makes me want to get a car sooner and a better camera.
Lastly, the incredibles was great. funny and entertaining and yet has some truths in it. Time for lunch
