Our first stop was the Jane Austen Museum. It was very near our accommodation. The house is at No 40 Gay Street and is a Georgian town house build between 1735 and 1760 by the two John Woods. This house is very similar to the one where Jane Austen lived for a few nmonths following her father's death. Jane wrote two novels about Bath, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.
She did very little writing in the 5 years that she lived in Bath as the family fell on hard times after the death of her father. After a wander around the displays we headed back to town to do a little more shopping!! Marie Louise really is a bad influence on me!!
We walked back to the Circus for another look at the spectacular architecture and stone work. We then headed to the Assembly Rooms which we were lucky enough to be able to view, as there were no functions. They really are very impressive, but unfortunately not easy to photograph.
In the evening we headed to the Thermae Day Spa where we spent three relaxing hours in the Steam Rooms and the Roof Top Pool.
