Bye-bye Bath...

Today was the last day in Bath. Had a quiet night, nothing spectacular apart from repacking the ever expanding suitcase, and catching up with Iron Donkey Ian. Gave him some feedback about the bike (crap), the maps (confusing) and the B and Bs (lovely).  He said they are considering having pre-set GPS so riders don't have to worry about getting lost. NOW THEY DECIDE TO DO THIS!!!! Oh grrr...anyway, he asked if I was contemplating another ride. Mmmm....maybe not.
Up next morning, packed and ready to go. Caught a taxi to the railway station and had a little wait for the train to arrive. Relaxing ride back to Paddington then a battle with the crowds once more to get a taxi to the Regency Hotel. It is a quick walk to the V and A museum and other attractions. The hotel is huge and very impersonal and it is such a contrast to those beautiful B and Bs and the friendly people. The room is nice enough and comfortable. And it has a shower...woohoo...not a bath :)
After check in I went for a walk to check out the area and to get my bearings. I went back to the V and A Museum to look at a few galleries that I hadn't looked at previously.
After a few hours I decided that I'd had enough for the day, so grabbed a salad and raspberry drink at a French bakery/ cafe then back to the hotel.
Tomorrow - not sure what I will do. On Friday I'm going to Oxford, Stratford upon Avon and Warwick Castle.Looking forward to this!!
