Day 5 of UK Vacay - Jane Austen Festivities
We arrived at the Dorian House B&B the afternoon of Friday, the 13th of September, and walked into town (about 20 minutes all downhill) to get our bracelets for the Jane Austen festivities the next day.
Talk about luxurious rooms and bathrooms with a huge claw-footed tub (my favorite kind of tub!!) as well as a nice, big shower. Probably not as large as some but definitely larger than those in the London House Hotel (see my post for Day1).
This bathroom had me singing a happy tune from first glance. I'd have been doing the Jesus Happy Dance too but my feet were beginning to get sore from all the walking LOL!
Saturday we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast (I had Eggs Florentine) then dressed in our Period Attire and headed down to the festivities. After the Grand Regency Costumed Promenade (which lasted about an hour), we enjoyed a tour of the Jane Austen Centre and Tea with Mr. Darcy in the Tea Room.
We explored the downtown area for a while, visiting the shops and food establishments (and here you have to pay $1.00 to get in the toilet!) then turned in for the evening to prepare for our next adventure - a train ride to Cardiff, Wales the next day!
Hope you're enjoying my UK Vacay as much as I did and that you'll continue to drop by the blog as I recount the entire trip.
Until next time, happy trails...
