Brilliant Bristol
Bristol - what a great city!
I suppose because it is a port with a fabulous maritime and trading history like Greenock, I felt quite at home there. when Hubby and I visited last week.
One of my favourite things to do when I visit a new city is to take the open top. hop on, hop off bus tour so that I can get my bearings and learn a little of the local history - usually from someone who actually lives there. Bristol's open top bus tour was great!
Still ............ there's always next time!

The old dock area is now full of bars and restaurants and was wonderful to wander round in the evening.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel's amazing iron steamship the "ss Great Britain", built in Bristol and launched in 1843, is one of the attractions, but we didn't have time to see the ship close up.
Still ............ there's always next time!
