At this rate, it’s going to take a very long time to finish recapping my trip! It’s fun reliving a little of it each week.

We spent 4 days and 5 nights in Bath. On our 5th full day, we took a train from Bath to Birmingham.

We felt like we were having a very English experience with the Sunday Times and sandwiches from Marks & Spencers on the train.

In Birmingham, we stayed in The Rotunda, an iconic building from the 60s that has been converted into apartments. The top few floors, the apartments are available for hotel stays.

Birmingham greeted us with a band. We heard lots of street music during our stay. This was a good location for it.
