Adventures in Europe: Bristol and Bath, United Kingdom

As part of my cycling trip I spent last night in Bristol and this morning I did a small tour on my way out of town, including visiting two of Banksy's public art installations. 

This one is called "Well Hung Lover."


And this one is "Mild Mild West."


Once I arrived in Bath I needed to catch a train to Swindon, but I did a little loop to see the very impressive Bath Abbey . . .


. . . Pulteney Bridge (apparently "one of only four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides") . . .


. . . St. John the Evangelist's Catholic Church . . .


. . . and many other sites that I did not even manage poor taken-while-riding-a-bicycle photos of. Clearly Bath is a fun town, however, and they are in the middle of the Jane Austen festival so it seemed to have some particularly good energy, and many folks in Jane Austen period costumes.
