Wookey Caves and Farleigh-Harrington Castle

How could I not go to Wookey Caves? I'm not a StarWars fan particularly, but that's not an opportunity I could turn down.
And it was excellent. I think I racked up instance 2 of being awed (number 1 was at the Taj Mahal) though it does remind me of other times I've been underground and felt similarly. Really good tour, and makes me (someone who swore they wouldn't) really want to get into the sport...
Then you come out and go through a hand made paper factory - using cotton. Really interesting. Cotton paper is much more durable than wood paper, and would make an excellent repository for recording appropriate technologies for future generations (after the apocalypse :)
Finally there is the mirror maze which really tickled my fancy and a bunch of old style penny arcade thingies (not really my thing).
After this I went to the affor mentioned castle (may be spelt wrongly) found nearby. This was interesting - really detailed history and good ruins. It was also being investigated at the time I went, but I foolishly didn't take a picture now I think back. I don't know why I liked it so much but I did :P
Then I went back to Bath and was talked at by a Norweigan woman with a pommy accent about how good she is at electronics. Riveting.
