Going Solo on a Rick Steves' Tour

Arrive in Bath

 

I did it! - Being a bit of a worrywart, I was anxious about getting to Bath on the train from Paddington Station. I was unfamiliar with this mode of transportation, and even with all the resources available to me (the internet and Rick Steves' guidebook), there were still so many unanswered questions running through my mind.  Nevertheless, I arrived at my destination without a hitch, which taught me to have a bit more faith in myself. I had enough time before the orientation meeting to listen to the band playing in the park and take a quick walk around the neighborhood.

After meeting the other tour group members and picking a "buddy", we all walked to a pub down the street from the hotel for dinner.   We sampled a few local beers and ate Sunday roast with all the fixings.  I really liked the Yorkshire pudding.  Mmmmmm.....
