Bath, England

Southampton to Bath

Well here we are en route to Bath on the Great British Railway.
We set our alarms for 7, were eating by 8 ( mushroom omelettes, bran muffin and juice), leaving the ship at 9, taxi and boarding the train on platform 4 at 10:00. The train is crowded!!
Off in Bath, we struggle with our orange and blue wheelie suitcases upon the cobblestones, going in circle and asking for directions to our small hotel.
We check in with Allen, refresh, and meet Sue our hostess for keys and the inside scoop. Breakfast is from 8-9:30.
We head to lunch across from the Roman Baths. Dan had a pulled pork and I choose the roasted tomato soup. We each have 1/2 pt. The Bath Ale Gem, draught is a whole other sensation.
I am immersed in fashion here. My eyes are full taking in the beauty and sheer ingenue. This must be a shopping mecca!
Then we tour the Baths which are incredible.
I call Dad, so great to hear his voice!
Then we slide out at the sun sinks for a pizza pie. It is great! Memories of Rome. A caesar, Valpolicello and after overcharge of 400. Bring up a limoncello.all is well.

Home in a light drizzle to shower and rest.

Reykjavic Seattle Portland

Reykjavic to Seattle to Portland Sleep came over us slowly. Was it the milk chocolate or  anticipation of our last day: travel home? I got the coffee started and made instant lattes and a pot of french press. We cut the croissant in half and put out the yogurts and strawberry jam, which was nicely tart.  A banana was sliced and we ate slowly. We need to be out at 11:00. Our flybus is at 12. And the plane is at 5:00. We say goodbye to our host Elsa Bjorg Magnussön, Hail a taxi and ask for a ride to the Hallenkirge. Its a tower of a Lutheran Church the state's religion; 80% belong. The pipes in the organ number 5700! The taxi waits as Dan and I light healing candles. The taxi driver is quite nice. He asks us about our careers and why I became a 'dentist'. The fly bus arrives early for the 50 minute bus ride to the airport over lava fields. We check in find a lunch spot and make our way to gate D22b. Then we are bussed to a plane waiting on the tarmac.
