It's surprising how much you have to keep paying if you want to be a tourist, but then again if it helps look after the history we have and maintains the buildings so that all can apprecaite them, then it is a small price to pay. So armed with our cameras off we set to see what man created many centuries ago and enjoyed in that era. Looking back in time you could picture romans walking around and enjoying the hot springs. The tour wound it's way around the older parts, giving you glimpses of what was to come, hence the first photo lookingthrough a glass window into the inside of this building.
