More Green Water Views

The Roman Baths tour is one I want to take again, and spend more leisurely time. I didn't get to listen to all of the tour. Everyone gets a personal listening device and you punch in codes to hear tidbits of history. They also have kid versions.

Roman Bath Yucky Green Water

My daughter posing in front of the bath under the open air, which they explain is why the water is green. The sunlight encourages aglae to grow. There are signs all over that say, "don't touch the water," and them most kids do. They also offer a free drink of the water at the end of the tour, and they warn you it will taste like metal - we passed. But Jane Austen fans know the importance of the Pump House and the alleged "healthy" qualities of the water.
