We left Athlone, driving to Dublin in a few hours and returned the i20. We had a few hours to kill before the flight to Heathrow. We arrive and went to the car rental place, and managed to sweet talk the customer service person into a reasonably cheap upgrade from a Fiat 500, to an Audi Q2 - with 800 miles on the clock. So our trusty steed is a white Audi q2 for the next nine days!
We stayed at Reading for the night before making the trip to Bath the next day. Our accommodation in Bath is in Pulteney Street - a beautiful avenue full of Georgian Town houses - just stunning. We lunched in a great little up called The Crystal Palace and wandered the streets in Bath, marvelling at the history and architecture, all so in tact. We both remembered being at the Roman Baths when we were kids, but didn’t recall the rest of the amazing architecture.
