Hello there!
Having completed my earlier travel posts on several interesting countries and regions, including Japan, Maldives, Indonesia, US, Europe, New Zealand and the latest one being Australia, it's time to fly over to United Kingdom!
This was a trip I made in 2014, I was there partly for work and partly for leisure as well. At that point in my life, it was one of the further destination that I have travelled all the way from Asia and it was definitely an eye opener to see how United Kingdom, or more specifically London, looked like. One thing that I remembered vividly was how strong GBP was, and everything was so expensive. For example, even though the numerical digits of the prices were small, because 5 or 10 GBP was easily a lot already. Anyway, time to relive those moments as I share the sights and sounds of my experience!
Here are the posts so far:

As if London itself wasn't entertaining and vibrant enough, I actually managed to squeeze in a day trip in the midst of the busy schedule and visited Bath, a city that is not too far from London.
Bath is a small city well known for its architecture and Roman baths, which is why that is the name for the city.
First up, we were at this place called The Circus, which is made up of a circle of houses. Pretty interesting design of the architecture. Too bad I wasn't able to capture the entire view because the compound was just too big.


Nearby to The Circus, there's another place called Royal Crescent, where the houses are arranged in a crescent shape. And interestingly, both places were within walking distance from each other.


There was some exercise event going on in the field as well.

Here's one of the museum in the city of Bath, called Jane Auston Centre. Due to the packed schedule in the day trip, I didn't venture in.

We also wandered around the streets in the city. The vibes were very relaxing in this one, and there was just a sense of tranquility in this chill city.


They also have an art gallery too!

And then we reached one of the more scenic places in Bath, and that's Pulteney Bridge!

And facing one side of the bridge was this awesome view! A river, some gardens, and there was even one ferry in the river! I stood in the spot for a while, admiring the scenery, taking some photos, and enjoying the breath of fresh air. It was just so relaxing.




After lunch, I also managed to stroll through the gardens and explored more streets in Bath. It's not so crowded, unlike most major cities, and that's why it felt so refreshing and relaxing over here.





And that's all I have today! Have you been to London or United Kingdom? Let me know in the comments below!
