Gentlemen on The Road, Part 4: The Naked Truth, and a Roman Bath


(First of all my apologies for the long break between posts, but I was on a business trip and could not find the time to continue...).

On Wednesday we packed our things up again and continued our tour to our next destination Bath. Our first (and due to the weather conditions pretty much only) stop was in another ocean village, namely Ilfracombe. This is a nice little village that somehow got infamous for a statue in their harbor depicting Verity, being shown as a partially skinned pregnant woman, hiding the scales of justice behind her back, but raising her sword. I was never good at interpretation of art so I let this one go, but I am sure that there is some world-shaking wisdom in this...



Via the beautiful Exmoor National Park...

...we made our way to our next B&B, but not without our GPS leading us through the busiest construction area in Bristol, the downtown train station construction monster (we lost over one hour). 

The next day we visited Bath, an old Roman city that we all fell in love with instantly. Beautyful Victorian houses, a nice shopping mile (including a Record shop!), and most of all the amazing Roman bath that is worth every trip and even the high admission charge.


Figuring out what to do next

The man, the knight

Not sure what is so British about Vespa, but I still love it!


What a clash of cultures!


The thermal spring

An old Roman

A young Roman, speaking perfect English. There must have been a TARDIS around somewhere?!
