A good way to end the week

Nothing quite like a pamper session at Bath's Thermae Spa to get the weekend off to a great start. Met a friend mid-morning then we headed for the rooftop pool, where you simply glide through the warm mineral-rich waters (that's Bath Abbey in the distance). Then we dragged ourselves down to the aroma steam rooms, where you can cool off under the waterfall shower before heading down to the Minerva Pool.

Here, the gentle current effortlessly tugs you around the pool. Then it was back to the rooftop (my favourite) to finish the session. All too soon it was over, so we consoled ourselves with lunch. It's a tough life. Ahh... already planning the next visit.

Take a look at the Thermae Spa's website where you can view a video of what's on offer.
