Rach can now cross 'world record' off of her bucket list. We arrived in the very pretty city of Bath the day before the torch relay and a world record attempt for the biggest human Olympic rings.
With Guinness on hand, we broke the record by 100 people. Or at least 'unofficially' at this stage.
The local mayor and his wife (next to us in the black ring) explained that turning out for this type of thing was something that the poms do best. We are now wondering if we can claim our English leg as a tax deduction...
Watching the Olympic torch relay pass through the town was great, even if the tradition was upstaged by sponsor floats with megaphones. It is big business.
It wasn't all Olympics. The roman bath ruins in the centre of town were well worth a visit. We then refreshed with a swim and a sauna at the modern spa. The rooftop mineral spring pool with glass walls overlooking the old city was a great place to end the day.
