Well, I’m in Bristol.

After arriving at the hotel, I unpacked some of my stuff and then headed out to see what there is to see in Bristol. I think I have mixed feelings about the town, at least based on what I’ve seen so far.

There are some very old buildings and some even older gates in downtown Bristol. I wandered down to Harbourside because that’s not too far from the hotel and there are a number of things there. But when I arrived at about 1830, it was a bit of a ghost town. I don’t know if that’s just because it’s a Monday, or if it’s like that all the time.

After grabbing a bite to eat, I wandered back towards the hotel. On the way, I heard the peal of a bell tower and followed the sound. It turned out to be an old church. I stood and listened for about 10 or 12 minutes before the melange of notes organized themselves into a descending run of notes. Very impressive!

From there I walked a couple of more blocks and found myself in front of the hotel.

I had planned on staying here two nights before heading to Edinburgh, but I may change my mind tomorrow morning and head to Scotland in the afternoon. Time will tell.

I’ll put pictures online when I have access to a faster connection. Right now I’m using my cellphone and it’s not fast enough to upload pictures.
