Review of The Roman Baths
20 Apr 08, 16:05
When in Rome... 
No trip to Bath is complete unless you have visited the Roman Baths. It is really spectacular, and although the water does look green and a bit scummy, the sense of luxury and grandeur that was no doubt felt in the Roman days remains.
I recommend getting there early as every time I have been there it has been really busy and have had to queue for a bit. As the other review here mentions, you are given a headset so that you have a guided tour of the museum and baths. I must admit I didn't really use the headset for everything, only really where I wanted some extra information. Plus I did get a bit bored when the information relayed via the headset was the same as the information displayed on boards in the museum so found some of the audio not really necessary.
After you have finished, it is worth looking at the gift shop even if you don't want to buy anything - I always find gift shops fun. If you want to take a small souvenier back but aren't interested in anything here there is a FAB old fashined sweet shop near here that do lots of lovely souvenier packaged jars of sweets.

Review of Bath Abbey
18 Apr 08, 17:27
Really beautiful and peaceful
Bath Abbey is really beautiful - a lovely place to wander around and be a tourist, or to take a pew and pray. The glass windows are stunning and it's on a sunny day it it lovely to see the sun shine through them. The Abbey also has a very nice book shop with lots of really good Christian books. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Review of London Aquarium

Find Nemo 
A brilliant place to visit and kids love it. Every time I've been there it has been really busy and it can be a bit frustrating trying to move around with the numbers of people around you but it is well worth it. Bright, colourful and interesting, makes you feel like a kid again! As well as the fish, sharks, jellyfish, octopus and other aquatic life you will find there, there is also a display on the Thames and some "interesting" articles that have been washed ashore - quite a few big brick old mobile phones!! On certain days you can see them feeding the sharks but I haven't managed to see this yet. Brilliant day out and brings out the kid in everyone.
