Went to Bath on Easter Monday and was really surprised to see that the majority of building in the centre of the city are genuine Georgian: up to 250 years old or so. A marvellous looking place. The royal crescent and circus are spectacular and well worth the voyeuristic visit. I heard that one house on the royal crescent sells for £2 million: ridiculous! Had a decent meal at the Arabesque Lebanese restaurant in the Podium Centre: I like what I've seen of Lebanese food and this was a buffet worth trying out and it wasn't that expensive either. Had a shock at the Roman Baths: they wanted £8.50 EACH for us to go in ... we didn't. The city bus tour wanted £7 EACH for us to sit on their bus as they whizzed us round the city ... we didn't. Nice city, tourists beware of the serious damage that can be done to your wallet. DW
