:a random weekend trip to BaTH:

Really unlike me man this year. Me weekends have been preoccupied with random stuff ( mostly unplanned), work load though isn't that heavy, but still it's been pilling like never before. With the advent of nil courseworks (maybe 1/2..) and nil short assesments, there has'nt been any serious effort in completing my neverending task(s); warden duty-ing hasn't been that bad... I even managed to sneak time-off for sunday roast while on duty. Thankfully, ColumRoaders are all very non-trouble makers and understanding fellas! Nasib-nasib...

Caroline's cousin came over for a week, and boy, we were sort of like pity da fella cos he wasn't brought properly around Cardiff due to our studies commitments etc. A random trip suggestion to Bath was tossed, and i immediately jumped at the idea of joining day trip. The morning proceeded on a gloomy note as weather was pretty unspectacular...winds n drizzle were aplently. Nevertheless, we were set on another random round of exploration irregardless of the weather's emo-ing. The queer thing is that whenever anyone travels with me, it always rains. Go figure out why. Jinxed. Blek.

Reached Bath very excitedly. Was what I expected from the pictures; Roman archtecture, a breathe of fresh air compared to the dull british homes/structures of unspectacular bricks- pale pastel colours. The whole town seems so touristy, with bywalkers all lugging a backpack and a map at arms length. After the Amsterdam trip, me lost my interest in picture taking, but suddenly the camerawhore in me got resurrected! A bit the poyol in some pictures, but we were all very gung-ho in snapping away as much as possible with whatever limited time we had. After spending $8.50(bloody pounds!) , 2 hours& loads of snapshots in the Roman Bath, which supposedly showcased a journey through history of the day-to-day life of ancient Rome, we then took a hasty walk through the city centre, which was littered with numerous quaint trinklet shops and a mumble-jumble of interesting eateries; we paused awhile at the Cadbury shop to purchase some fudge (a famous product of Bath- as recommended by one Ms J), which i were to regret later as SanFransiscoFudgeFactory , just on the similar alley as SallyLunn's bun shop (which we later stopped for lunch) ,actually made even more mouthwatering delectables, at similar price too! So don't be too hasty like me alrite!

Managed a couple of interesting shots at the Circle, Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge, the statue outside the Bath City Church ( a good place to practise mouth-catching squirting water) and of course, which town does'nt have it's Central Market?

We finally adjourned for lunch with a sumptious serving of SallyLunn's famous buns (courtesy of Caroline), topped with special gently-buttererd clotted cream coupled with a generous scoop of Tiptree jam, which we guys (and Vincent) dabbed with our toasted sanwich snacks of gammon ham/smoked bacon with cheddar cheese.... the gluttony of rich cheese and jam made a wonderfully rewarding closure to a brief yet relaxing day-out.







Had to rush home for warden-ing duties and a badminton appointment later, but t'was a great weekend to boot! More updates on random weekend travels coming soon! So keep a lookout k :P
