Woke up to alarm at 5 am, at the train by 6:15; train to Paris 1.5 hours mostly in the dark. Landing in Montparnasse station, metro to Gare de Nord where we went through customs and had a short wait before boarding Eurostar to London. What a treat, a real zoom! Landing at Kings Cross Station then tube to Paddington to catch train to Bath. Had about a half hour so had Mc D's sundae and bought some chocolate chip cookies - we'll diet when we get back. Bolloxed tracks, so had to go to Bristol, then train back to Bath. The stop allowed for more food - coffee and a pasty, then squeezed into train crowded to stand for three stops to Bath Spa and a cab to hotel. On to store for birthday cupcakes and candles, on to abbey, the centerpiece of the town, also saw Roman baths and wandered around stopping at cute pub for fish and chips, then back to hotel for cake and champagne. Lovely birthday.

10/08 This was a wander and buy stuff day; started out to find Brasher (New boots for Lynn) and met with success first thing at Millets where found a gorgeous pair of leather lined boots that are so handsome that it was hard to actually use them. Back to hotel to call about Cotswald Walk info then on to visitor center and joined the free town tour given by enthusiastic volunteers bubbling over with town pride, but we left after awhile as nature was calling. On our own we went to the Circus and the Royal Crescent and continued wandering the town. Then it was kind of pig out time stopping for coffee and a luscious lemon tart, some pastys, a brownie and slice of rhubarb cake, Then back to wandering but too late for Roman Baths so found a really good noodle shop and had a yummy asian dinner. More wandering capped off with an Italian ice cream. Note: Pigging out is an art form, and we' re fine tuning our skills.
10/07 BATH - HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY Lynn
