TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE DIARIES

The main shopping street of Bath is Southgate Street but if you are looking for the chicer boutiques and shops, you can better head off to  Milsom Street in Bath's Upper Town. Here you will find a shopping thoroughfare dressed in beautiful Georgian architecture.Many of the buildings here are listed. Milsom Street was voted "Britain's Best Fashion Street". I really liked this street. Elegant is the word I would like to describe Milsom Street. The exact location of Milsom Street: Milsom Street is connected to pedestrian shopping streets, Burton Street, Union Street and Stall Street.

This version of flammkuchen (the classic) is really good. Thin crust, crunchy and the spread of the cheese, bacon and onions were just even to the taste. Fresh actually. Light. I...

I found this hotel from a colleague who suggested it to me. It is just near the office, about a 5-minute walk, the building has some interesting history, the hotel is modern in design and facilities, price includes breakfast and they have a promo. Just perfect. It’s a very comfortable design hotel. I quite liked my stay here. The interior is designed based on function, simplicity and neatness. Every little amount of space is used and you will see that in the pictures below. I have a degree in Interior Design (which these days I do not do anything about) so I am always amused when I see a well thought of design of a space. Hopper Hotel St. Josef is a former monastery and charity house for impoverished children run by sisters from the Schwestern der Christlichen Liebe order from Paderborn. They called this place before—Josefhaus. They used to run nurseries here and feed poor schoolchildren. It is also a needlework school for young girls, as well as home for young women. It w...
