All of this week’s pictures are from my weekend visit to Bath, where my son is studying engineering. I have put up a proper gallery here<\/a>, but the pictures here serve a different purpose; rather than showing the beauty of Bath they show what I did during that weekend \ud83d\ude42 The images are arranged in strict chronological order.<\/p>\n

Main<\/strong>
\nArrival at Bristol airport Friday afternoon:

\nAlternates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Alternate 1<\/em>
\nOnce in Bath, I checked into my hotel and went to the local Sainsbury to buy some toiletries (when I travel I usually buy toothpaste, aftershave etc. at my destination, that way I only have to bother with the Ziplock bags one way):
\n\"_1000388\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 2<\/em>
\nOnce that was taken care of, it was time to refill at the pub next to the hotel:
\n\"_1000394\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 3<\/em>
\nThen we went to have dinner at Tilley’s Bistro, a wonderful restaurant in the centre of town which is too expensive for my son’s student budget, so I always take him there when I come to visit:
\n\"_1000397\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 4<\/em>
\nThe chef at work:
\n\"_1000398\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 5<\/em>
\nAfter work, back to Huntsman Pub next to my hotel:
\n\"_1000405\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 6<\/em>
\nSaturday morning I woke up before 6 a.m. and as is my habit, I went for a walk as soon as the sun had risen. At this bus stop it was evident that some hungry young people had been there the night before:
\n\"_1000415\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 7<\/em>
\nEven though Bath is quite a distance from the sea, there are lots of seagulls:
\n\"_1000448\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 8<\/em>
\nTake-off:
\n\"_1000449\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 9<\/em>
\nEven mundane businesses in Bath tend to have something hip about them:
\n\"_1000450\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 10<\/em>
\nLater Saturday morning, around 11, my son got up and we went to the local market to do some grocery shopping financed by Dad. Next to the local mega-Sainsbury there is a wonderful farmers’ market. Compared to the Spanish markets I usually frequent it is much more polished, but still nice. Here is a combination, a veggie vendor playing guitar while waiting for customers:
\n\"_1000487\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 11<\/em>
\nSainsbury forecourt, in decidedly unexciting weather:
\n\"_1000488\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 12<\/em>
\nWe then went for lunch at a pub. In this image we have three great English things–a delicious pie, an equally delicious pint, and my Billingham bag:
\n\"_1000498\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 13<\/em>
\nLater in the afternoon, we watched the rugby match between England and Ireland:
\n\"_1000505\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 14<\/em>
\nLate in the game, Ireland scored a try to win the game, to the general despair of English fans:
\n\"_1000509\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 15<\/em>
\nIn the evening, we went to another favourite watering hole, the Hobgoblin:
\n\"_1000532\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 16<\/em>
\nToilet door at the Hobgoblin:
\n\"_1000528\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 17<\/em>
\nHobgoblin toilet, good reading while peeing:
