Have you heard of Bath in UK? \u00a0City of Bath is a popular tourist attraction in UK. \u00a0From Salisbury to Bath, take slightly more than an hour 40 miles. \u00a0If you are travelling from London to Bath, it take about 3 hours.<\/p>\n

On the way to city of Bath, we passed by some unique houses in the countryside. \u00a0What took my attention was the unique rooftop.<\/p>\n

UK Car Park – Pay & Display<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we approached the city of Bath, the first thing to do is to find the car park. \u00a0We already knew where we wanted to park, so we just keyed in Avon Street Car Park in the GPS. \u00a0There is a ticketing machine for us to purchase our parking tickets but first we need to decide how many hours to spend in the city of Bath. \u00a0We roughly estimated 3 hours so we inserted GBP 4.30 into the ticket machine for 3 hours parking ticket. \u00a0There are 2 things I dislike about this ticketing system.<\/p>\n

1.You need to do a rough estimation of how many hours you will spend. \u00a0You need to purchase tickets before exit to the car park.<\/p>\n

2.You need to get off the car, go to the ticketing machine to buy the ticket then go back to your car to display the ticket. \u00a0Some of the ticketing machines are quite far from the car and may not be at the same floor. \u00a0Walking back and forth is really not an efficient way.<\/p>\n

Luckily not all public car park in UK have such system. \u00a0Some car park are more efficient, once you entered you can just grab the parking ticket at the machine and just paid on the way out. \u00a0Be prepared of more coins, as some machines only accept coins and no return on small changes. \u00a0I was lucky enough to met a nice couple who agreed to break my paper notes to coins. \u00a0Else I have to walk across the street, at least 1 km to find small coins.<\/p>\n
