How to disembark from a train getting into Bath

After the newness of Cardiff we moved onto the 'historic-ness' of Bath. But before that we had to be able to get off the train that was taking us there.

You'd think it would be pretty simple, you get the call..."Bath Station next stop" over the loud speakers, then you get up, get your bags and finally go through the open doors and off the train. Well I thought it easy and managed all the required tasks to successfully disembark the train with all my possessions. Rach on the other hand had a problem with the "go through the open doors " part as by the time she got her bag and went to the doors were not open but rather they were shut.
And so I watched the train roll away out of Bath with Rach's little sad face staring out of the window as she sped away.

It wasn't all too bad, she just had to hop off a few stops later and catch another train back to Bath (paying heed to follow all above disembarkment steps). All the while I got to have a really good look around the Bath train station, awesome.

Anyway, when we were all accounted for (jamie..check, rach......ahhhh???....check) we dumped our bags at the hostel and made our way into the town. Quite a cool place Bath, kinda like a little Edinburgh with the same stlye architecture (Georgian I'm told). The main tourist attraction is the Roman Baths, uncovered early 19th centurish?? were the remains of some public Baths built by the Romans when they controlled lower England a few thousand years ago.

Enough history here's some pictures

Bath; Built on the only hot springs site in the UK, is a really cool place and on the sunny day we had a really good walk around the place. The river,which I can't remember the name of, is walled the whole way through the town and a cool shaped dam sits below one of the many bridges.

And just for Mum, here's the birth place (or so your led to believe) of the Sally Lunn bun, we didn't get one as the lines were too long but here a picture.

As a bit of a sub note, we also spent a night in Exeter with a Uni friend Tracey. We did pretty much the only thing to do in Exeter when you're there for a day, the cathedral.
