BATH

BATH continued


Visit to a glass blowing factory- it was very educational.

Next up we went to the Roman baths, which was established when England was under Roman occupation. This is Sulis Minerva, pagan goddess of the baths. People at that time used to write curses on lead, crush them and throw them into the baths in the hope that she would answer them! It was pretty funny seeing all their curses like "The person who stole my cloak should lose his eyes/mind".
The hot springs itself, which heated the entire building. To this day, the water is still bubbling and you can see the vapour evaporating.
