I had a chance to visit Bath a few years ago. A fascinating place to see.

They were talking about reopening the Baths to bathers when I was there in 1997. They were getting ready to celebrate some anniversary. I guess the re-opening never happened.

The creepiest place I went in Bath on that trip was one of the city’s so-called “finest” resturants. It was located in a Roman sewer. The walls were painted chartreuse and it was named “Toxique”. It specialized in fish.

Otherwise my stay in Bath was delightful.
