Caesar!

There’s a town in England called Bath. Aptly named for its origins and Roman constructors, the town is a huge tourist venue on the western side of London. It’s not hard to see the town’s ancestry, even from a few kilometres away. Giant church steeples rise over the hillside and the building architecture flips almost the instant you enter the town. It’s almost like a step back in time. And yes… they have Roman Baths. They’re actually legitimate, heated from cracks in the earth and the heat that bubbles up. The water in the bath you see in my image today is naturally that colour and the air has a fowl stench of sulphur. The water is so naturally hot that steam rises from the surface.

My only regret about visiting Bath is not having enough time to stay. On organised tours you get to see the surface of many different places but never a singular place in depth. Bath was one such example. It really felt like stepping back in time to ancient Rome walking through this part Bath. I absolutely loved it.
