Shopping was in full bloom and while wandering through the streets I discovered that out of lack of imagination they called their bridge that carries shops to both sides 'Ponte Veccio' after the Florentine masterpiece. Only 3000 years after the first slaves started working at Stonehenge the Romans starting exploring these parts of Europe. They found hotsprings and turned them into a Celtic and Roman temple as well as a prosperous health and business facility. The Roman Spa in Bath is really worth spending several hours on. It was fascinating.
Water is still in the pools.
It looks green and tempting. Steam is rising from it, especially now in winter. But no tourists are allowed in. I wonder if the workers after hours when everything is closed take a quick dip. For 2000 years now a quarter of a million gallons of mineral rich water gush out of these springs at 117 degrees every day.
