I went to Bath alone but did not see as much as you did – did not go into a cemetery. Your pictures are truly like open windows into England. I have been there so many times and there are other countries to be visited (which are not so expensive) but England is still calling me. I should not think about a trip there while I am on a trip away from home right now… We are celebrating our 45th today and will have a late lunch on famous Beale Street in Memphis today. I’m ready to see more pictures on England and Amsterdam though.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-89243485471770791522012-06-17T14:43:50.080+02:002012-06-17T14:43:50.080+02:00Sham: Your neck of the woods, I know!

We didn't know what we were getting into when we started the day, so were unprepared.

Only that we would meet Lis and have a walk.<br />What we saw on the route was amazing, we stepped back a few hundred years, when we came to the cemetries. Okay, it was a 'little' muddy on our way back. I think I was afraid to injure myself when falling. Nothing got hurt, yes my pride. Now I can laugh about it :)<br />It is a saying, 'you have to try everything once'.... <br />I would do it again, but then I would come more prepaired.<br />The boats are a delight, I was so lucky to see one got into a lock.<br />A great day, with great pictures.
