Another Canadian!

Well it has been a while now since someone has come over from Canada to visit and given me an excuse to take a few days off work. On Tuesday July 10th Kelly arrived in Bristol after spending a week up in Manchester. So I left work early and went to pick her up from the train station. We took the bus back into the city centre and walked up the hill towards Clifton. After a nice meal at a local Chinese restaurant we went to the local bar to try our luck at the weekly quiz night. Unfortunately it was cancelled that week so we had a quick drink before heading back to the house and once it got dark we walked up to the Clifton suspension bridge to get some night photos.

The following day I had to work but I managed to get up and out of bed bright and early and made it to work before 8am. This is quite an accomplishment for me. Kelly spent the day walking around Bristol seeing the sites and we met up for lunch at Cabot tower which was closed due to painting. Guess you will just have to come back at some point Kel...

After work we caught a train over to the famous town of Bath. We wondered around the town for a while and got into the Abby for free which was a first for me. This is the first time I have seen a church go from charging people to go in to making it “optional donation”. The abbey is amazing inside with the ceiling been one of the many highlights.




We wondered around bath for a while walking over Pultney bridge and then along the river Avon, followed by a walk up to the circus (where Nicolas Cage just bought a house) and then over to the Royal Crescent and back through some of the parks. It was getting a bit late so we had some dinner at subway and made our way back to Bristol on the train. It was an early night as we had to be up at 4am to start our journey to Paris….
