Stalking Jane Austen

The Jane Austen excursion was too fast!
We left Oxford at 8am to first see Chawton where Jane Austen lived before dying. We got to see the small table where she wrote, her bedroom, the garden, and certain pieces she wrote while living there. Just up the road about ten minutes is where her brother lived (now a library) which is next to the church her mother and sister are buried at. To the coach!
We had a brief stop to visit The Vyne which is a huge manor style house that would have looked like Netherfield (according to the class) where Mr. Bingley lived. To the coach!
Our last historical visit was to see Winchester where she died and the church she is buried at. Jane has a huge stone dedication and is in one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. To the coach!
Our final stop of the night was to Bath where we spent the night so we could get up early and spend the day seeing SO much stuff.
Side note: Bath is a wonderful city, fun and exciting. However, if you have any intention of getting breakfast NOTHING opens before 9am and we had to meet up at 8:30am
Our first destination in Bath was to the Roman Baths, we got to drink the water but no popping in for a swim because the water is NOT clean. Then we hiked uphill to see the Fashion Museum where they had the dresses of the ages out for viewing and an area to dress up yourself. Downhill hike to the Roman Bath Pump Room for lunch at an opulent restaurant for real English tea, sandwiches, scones, and desserts! Uphill hike to Number 1 Royal Crescent to see a magnificent house full of information about how the people of the time behaved, ate, and the hidden places of chamber pots. (Georgian era ladies and gentlemen!) Back downhill one final time to meet the coach to take us to Lacock Village & Abbey.
Lacock is a quaint little town with a beautiful Abbey that Harry Potter had Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Quirrell in the first movie. The grounds surrounding the Abbey are beautiful with magnifying glass and telescopes that get you ready to see the first camera ever made in the visitors center.
We headed home to Oxford (God I love saying that) that evening, fairly exhausted by this point.
