Bristol Pictures

Some pictures from our stay in Bristol floating harbour.  We both feel like we have eaten (and drunk) our way around the city, but we have walked a considerable distance as well, we know to our cost that Bristol is built on a series of hills.  Thanks to Keith & Diane for the recommendations of places to visit, we think we did most of them.

We left this morning after a cruise around the harbour and have made our way back to Bath.
