August 12 – Bristol, UK

 Sunny, warm, 23 degrees

Our day revolves around a visit to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. This is a bridge 90 meters above the Avon River Gorge. The walk here isn’t far about 2k, but it’s all uphill. It’s a cool walk through the university area of Bristol. The actual walk across the bridge isn’t anything spectacular, but the views are.

On the way back we find ourselves in a derelict graveyard that I think is quite spectacular. It’s overrun with foliage, so much so that some of the graves are hard to see.

To quench our thirst we stop at the Botanist – less of a pub and more of a cool outdoor and indoor space for a drink. We only have a pint as we know Jamie Oliver’s “Jamie’s Italian Kitchen” is around the corner. After the Botanist we ducked into Jamie’s for another drink and a snack.

Along the way we stumble upon Bristol's 'Well Hung Man'. Bristol is known for it's street art - especially this mural by graffiti artist Banksy.

Soon we are back at the hotel for a quick nap before dinner.
More chips were found today.
