Unless each stone has the manufacturers name and date of manufacture stamped on the bottom....<br />So Bath is not Barth, unless you live there.

We went Bath because I love Jane Austen and she mentioned the place a few times in her novels. I even found the place she stayed. Had no idea why Bath was named Bath until I got there. The Abbey and roman bath was certainly fascinating. So were the Cresent. I missed the bridge though. hmm have o visit again.<br /><br />Have a fab time in Oman Muscat!!! Hopefully you get to go on the Camel rides. Remember don't eat with your left hand or hand things to the muslims using your left hand.
