Europe Post #3

Our next day of sightseeing was to a town called Bath... in one word, beautiful.  It is so European... and VERY different to Australia.  The buildings are all made of the local Bath stone which is a light sandstone colour and there are actually hanging baskets of flowers everywhere... on shop fronts, on lamp posts...
At the moment there is a charity event where 100 lions have been decorated and placed all around the city... we managed to spot about 30 of them.
This is the Bath Abbey.  Again, Dave and I have never been in an old church like this so it was extremely impressive.  The detail everywhere like the ceilings and the stained glass windows were mind blowing.
To end our day we visited Audrey & Brian, some long, lost friends from Australia.
