Drinking the Water

Of course if you visit Bath, you have to drink the mineral water for its medicinal value. It's a tradition that goes back hundreds of years (kind of like drinking the water at Wall Drug). The water was warm (duh it comes from a hot spring) and tasted kind of metallic. Not the most pleasant water I've ever drank. I have no clue if it benefitted my health. No miraculous healing occurred- I had a cut on my hand before I drank and its still there. How disappointing. 

Below is the beautiful fountain that the Victorians were drinking from. 

Here is the one I drank from. Sometimes modern = ugly.
