Planes Trains & Automobiles - and some walking
28 04 11 12:21
We have arrived in Bath, the first stop on our adventure. The trip here was as smooth and trouble-free as we had hoped with the only minor glitch occurring before we got the airport in Seattle. Because of last week’s accident, we were driving an insurance-provided Enterprise rental car which we dropped at the airport. On the shuttle, we discovered we’d left a bag in the car, which Enterprise kindly sent after us on the next shuttle.
This is where we are staying in Bath. The connections have been smooth so far - getting to the airport, plane change in Chicago, train change in London, and taxi to our B&B. We’re praying the connections go equally well on Sunday: taxi to Bristol, train with connection in Wales to Fishguard Harbour, and ferry to Rosslare, Ireland.
In spite of jet lag, we got out for a walk around Bath on a beautiful Thursday afternoon, and we plan to see more Friday, though probably with more Seattle-like weather. Bath is an interesting town with a literary history and lots of tourists and tourist-jaded locals who plan to celebrate today’s royal wedding and the accompanying national holiday with street parties and some kind of festivities in Victoria Park adjacent to where we are staying. We wandered into the Bath Abbey yesterday, a beautiful building which may have more stained glass than any other building I’ve seen, and were able to enjoy the organist practicing. We enjoyed a bit of dinner and conversation with locals at a nearby pub, and then headed to bed.
