Its Snowing....

2day when i check the weather forecast in BBC, it forecast that there will be snow in the afternoon. I was looking forward to it. Every time i will look out to the window to see if there is really snow. I'm such a lucky person. I saw snow flakes felling down from the sky together with the rain at 3.30pm. I was so excited and started yelling and running outside in short pants(it was almost 1 degree outside). This is the first time in my life i saw snow. The snow last for around one hour. All the trees and the roof is covered in snow.

Bath

Bath is my next station in UK. Bath is one of the world heritages and is famous for its roman bath, where it is the only natural hot spring in UK. Bath is also called the city of romance. Maybe it is because the city is located beside a river and it is very romantic to walk beside the river and the scenery is astonishing .

When I arrive in Bath, I really amaze with the architecture of the buildings. It is a wonderful place and I will surely recommend everyone to go to Bath if they have the chance. The first place we went is the roman bath. It is very well preserve and there are still hot spring in it. The water can rise up to 47 degrees. I also manage to drink the hot spring water. Everyone says it got a weird taste but I think it is not bad. We spend almost 3 hours inside it until the place is closed.

The next day we went for free walking tour which is organized by the local resident. The tour guide is a old man that live in Bath since he is 9 years old. They bring us walk around the city of Bath and tell us many story and legend behind each building. The first place is the Bath abbey. From the outside of the building, I mange to see many angels climbing the staircase and there is an olive tree where there is a crown stuck in the middle. All of the building in Bath is made of lime stone where it shines when there is sunlight. We are very lucky to have sunny weather during the two days we spent at Bath

The next place he shows us is the oldest building in Bath which is famous for its Sally Lun’s bun. I got buy the bun for a taste. It was very huge and the inside is very light and fluffy and it taste great with butter. Next we went to the Royal Victoria Park where there is the famous Royal Cresent and The Circus. The tour guide told us that a famous celebrity( Nicholas Cage) lives in one of the unit.
During the evening, we take a walk in the garden enjoying the warm breeze and looking at the sunset. I feel relax when i'm in Bath, enjoying the nice scenery and the nice building.
