My longest trip during the recent vacation
was a week spent in England, during which I tried to make the most of my first visit
to the UK! I was in London for the majority of my stay, but I visited a few other
cities as well. One of these was Norwich,
a city in the northeast, where I met up with my friend Lily who’s studying
there this year. I was only in Norwich for a day, but I managed to see several
sites and especially enjoyed the town’s market and castle.
Later in the week, I went to Bath for my second day trip. Despite an
unusual hurricane-like storm that disrupted travel the morning of my visit, I
made it to the city and had a nice day exploring. Bath is beautiful: it’s
located in a valley, with the river Avon flowing across the town and lovely
Roman and neoclassical
architecture throughout. The Roman baths were by far my favorite thing in the
city—I’m awed by anything that old, and some of the pools and infrastructure
are remarkably well preserved.
