| Over 1600 years ago, the Romans built this ginormous bathing facility in Trier Germany. It's one of the most beautiful, and grandest baths in the World. |

Come back in time with us as we explore and learn about Kaiserthermen- Imperial Roman Baths. Chandler (9) Brooklyn (12) Kayden (15) |
 |
| The kids are in one of the Roman baths. The wall behind them is the Medieval City Wall. |
 |
| The Cold Baths wing. The kids found it very interesting that people bathed 'naked' out in the open and often times with the other sex. When the Romans visited the baths they first cleansed their skin with oil, they had several baths all at different temperatures. They would get massages, have hair removed and end with a steam bath. |
 |
| The Hot Bath Wing. This bath had underfloor heating. There were several furnaces that heated this pool. the desired bathing temperature was 40 degrees Celsius which is 104 degrees Fahrenheit This Bath was huge. We read somewhere that The Hot water bath was large enough for a stage, orchestra, and 650 seats. Wow! |
 |
| Kids having so much fun exploring. |
 |
 |
| The Labyrinth AKA- The underground service tunnels. Can you imagine the amount of maintenance needed for this bathing area? We had a lot of fun down in the tunnels. There were so many to go down and so much to look at. |
 |
| Because there are so many tunnels they had arrows all over helping you navigate your way through. Very cool! I'm glad someone wasn't going behind us and changing all the arrows. :-) |
 |
| Look Dad, we found some Stalactite. |
 |
| We are all just blown away with these amazing building. |
