On
Day 7, Sunday, May 26th, we departed from Birmingham for a day of
travel to sites on the way to our final destination of London. We did
have a little excitement in the middle of the night! The alarm went off
in the hotel around 12:30 AM and everyone in the hotel had to evacuate!
Although no one knew why the alarm was tripped, some believe that
perhaps one of the many Brits in the hotel may have been smoking to set
off an alarm for the entire hotel. No worries, after ten minutes, we
all returned to our rooms to continue our sleep, see management’s note
attached.
We
traveled through the rural Cotswolds area in south central England.
Our first and unplanned stop was in the town of Bourton-on-the-water
known as Venice in England. This quaint town was known for its many low
bridges and stone houses. Bourton was very beautiful with many tourists
even when we arrived.
After a few house we made it to
spa town of Bath, England (pronounced Baaath). This community was known
as the most sophisticated town in England. Many of the upper class
visited this town for holiday. The main attraction was the former site
of the Roman Baths. The original hot springs “spa” was still available
for tourists to see and learn about the ancient spa treatment of the
Romans. After an hour or so in the Bath, we toured the Roman Baths site
with audio apparatus to tell the history of the Roman baths.
The
group then traveled to Bristol, England to an overnight stay and
dinner. The next day would be our biggest day of the tour with a concert
in Windsor Castle, in the chapel where Prince Harry and Meghan were
married!
