Bath- The Roman Ruins and Baths

After climbing the Abbey tower we had "the best lunch ever" according to Anni. 
Then it was off to learn about the Roman baths in England from 2000 years ago. And yes, another audio tour. We are getting quite good at them. 
Anni enjoyed chatting with this centurion, he even let her touch his sword edge. 
8 bags of old coins (circa 23AD) were found a few blocks away in the year 2002 when they were preparing a site for a new hotel. The kids were able to hold a few of those coins. 








They found a section of the original roof which has allowed them to figure out how tall the roof was and what the main bath building probably looked like. 
And at the end, we got to taste a bit of Bath water. I think most of our reactions mimicked Maija's.
