England Trip - 3rd August 2006 (Bath)

Another relaxed day. Paulie, Hing and I went to Bath where I visited four years ago. This time, my objectives were visiting the 'Jane Austen Centre' and having afternoon tea at 'Sally Lunn'. I didn't read any novels of Jane last time so I didn't enter it. Thus, I must enter there this time.

The staff of the 'Jane Austen Centre' was nice and helpful. One of them gave a short talk about Jane's life and answered my questions kindly. The exhibition there was informative too. It contained information about the life of people in 18th Century and also some real letters which was written by Jane. I bought a DVD and some books which I couldn't find in Hong Kong. YEAH!!!!!!

'Sally Lunn' was a nice place for having afternoon tea. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 'Sally Lunn is the name given to a type of bun associated with Bath, England. There are those who say that Sally was the daughter of a pastry cook in Bath, England. Because the bun is similar to a French brioche, others say she must have been a French Huguenot woman who baked them.' Actually, I did't care the origin of the name of this restauarant, I only wanted to experience the wonderful taste and spongy texture of the bread there. And it didn't disappoint me!!!
