Days 5 and 6 - Hangin' with the Sibs

Hey guys! So these past two days were the weekend,  and I spent it traveling around with Grant, Sam, and Sabrina (Sam's roommate). Saturday, we spent the day wandering around Gloucester (the nearby town to Hartpury). We ate at some really cool restaurants such as the Fountain Inn. I'm not going to lie, but England has the cutest restaurants and pubs I have ever been too! Granted, they all close down between the hours of 4 and 9 which is annoying and weird.

The Fountain

Food!!! Lots of Chips (french fries)

Dick Whittington's, an awesome pub, very friendly owner

Then today, we traveled to the town/city of Bath!!! It was the most beautiful and well-preserved ancient city I have ever seen. Made completely out of limestone, the city is hundreds of years old with the ancient Roman baths being the focal point for tourists like myself :) After arriving by high-speed train (I love trains! It was so fast, easy, and straight!) we viewed the massive Cathedral (not quite as large and nice as the one in Gloucester though I didn't think), then ate a bit of lunch at a really cute sandwhich bar overlooking the River Avon. Then, the girls and I booked a bus tour to take us around and throughout the city seeing the sights! I felt like this was a fantastic way to sight see and listen to the stories/histories behind Bath and all of her beauty. After the bus tours, we walked through the ancient ruins of the bath and the museum! Then, unfortunately, my camera battery died :( But, myself not being deterred, still had a fabulous time committing the images to memory (sorry for you though). After eating a dinner of Mai Tai, we loaded back onto the train at the station and returned to Gloucester for a teary good-bye for they will be returning to London tomorrow. I had a fantastic time meeting up with them this weekend 5,000 miles away from home! What brave adventurers they are!
