Once more Ruby's were off on our travels again, this time to the beautiful and historic Bath for our friend Aly's hen party (or kitchen tea if your South African).
I was amazed by how stunning Bath was with it's beautiful yellow stone building and it's rolling hills. This is when I knew I wasn't going to be able to see much of this stunning city on short day and half we were there so I am already planning my next trip back with Mr S.
First stop on our hen tour was Jamie's Italian in Milsom Place with it's stunning rooftop terrace which looks over the city. I had a baffling time with the menu as there was a huge amount of yummy choices on the menu. In fact I had to ask one of the other hens to take the menu away from me!
The B2B opted for an amazing platter with some of the other hens which was £15 per person and offered a little taster of the menu if you are like me and can't make your mind.
Next stop on our whirlwind tour was to the Royal Crescent Park. Bath has a number of public parks but this park was stunning and the weather certainly helped it look it's best!
Around the edge of the park there is a crescent of Georgian town houses where the fashionable families used to holiday and one of these houses has now been restored to it's Georgian state. Unfortunately we didn't get time to look inside so it is on my to do list for next time (all about the vintage!)
Anyway back to the hen party, we were all lounging drinking our champagne when two London routemasters rocked up in the middle of the park. Obviously I had to investigate what was going on and discovered it was a wedding party with the bride looking in a stunning cornflower blue gown.
Our time for lounging was over and off we went to Bath's famous thermal spa to get our pamper on! At £26 per person you get access to the steam rooms, the baths and a rooftop pool with stunning views over the Bath skyline! So this offers an affordable treat for all members of your party with the option to add treatments on to your package if you are feeling the need for just a little more pampering.
All pampered out we got ourselves back to the hotel (Travelodge Bath Central) to make ourselves and the B2B beautiful for a big night on the town and to sing along to Eurovision (well every hen do needs it's cheesy moments!)
The brides sister had done a fab job of organising all those photos you don't want your friends to see!!
Next morning bleary eyed me and another hen thought it would be rude not to take in Bath's streets so off we went for a wander and stumbled across the historic abbey and roman baths which I will be playing a visit to next time I am in town.
I also found a little gem whilst looking though one of Bath's china filled charity shops so I left Bath 1 tea plate heavier.
