Bath time & Windsor Castle

The last few days of the trip were nice. On Saturday we visited Bath, where the Roman Baths are. The town itself is adorable. Everyone we talked to was suuuuuper friendly and wanted to recommend stuff for us to check out. We decided to spend the money and actually go into the building, but I'm still not sure if it was worth it.

I took a lot of pictures and such, but the difference between how Italy and England handle ruins is funny. In Rome, you can just romp about on their ruins. Even in like the Colosseum there is little regulation other than certain areas that are too dangerous for people to be. At the Roman Baths in Bath you are walking on like raised platforms and can't touch much. Its annoying.

We also tasted the famed healing waters and they taste like ass. Its all warm and minerally. Ew. We did, however, enjoy a delicious traditional afternoon tea at the Pump Rooms afterwards. It was really fun and yummy!

We also briefly checked out the Jane Austen Centre, but decided to forego taking the tour. After Bath we headed back and met our new German roommates. They were all rowers from Bavaria and highly amusing. After chatting with them for a while and having a drink in the room we all went our separate ways for the evening. Emily and I ended up exploring Leicester Square, Picadilly Circus and Chinatown before eventually finding our way to a tube station and returning home for the night. What I assume was Leicester Square was really fun! It was kinda like the Times Square of England. There were so many people walking around and lots of bright lights on the buildings.

We also wandered into the gay area and we had to pretend to be lesbians by holding hands so that this creepy guy would leave her alone. It was actually really funny.

The next day we visited Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park cause Emily was really interested in going. I was less than enthused. There were only three people talking, but it was like shit I coulda heard on the bus at 1am from some crazy person. Boring.

Then we went to Windsor to check out the castle. It was so cool! First of all, its huge. And all of the rooms inside are beautiful. Emily thought it looked worn down, but I thought it was awesome sauce. My favorite room was entirely green and soooooo gorgeous. It was fun times. I also took unauthorized pictures of the doll house, which was amazing. What made it even more cool was the fact that the Queen was in residence that day. Yay!

After that we pretty much just got all our shit together for our Monday departure. It was pretty lowkey and simple leaving the UK and now we are returned. I'm glad I'll be able to see you all again, but sad that my European Adventure has come to an end.

I might do another update in a few just to recap it all. We'll see!

Bye bye bye!
