We spent a lovely day in Bristol yesterday (Saturday) My Son was down from Scotland visiting his girlfriend who's at university there and so my Wife and I hopped on the train and met them for lunch. Of course no trip to this city is complete without a swift half in King St somewhere and my Son and I grabbed a cheeky one while the girls went shopping. I snapped the picture above while sitting and chatting with him, it's a medieval building housing one of the landmark pubs of Bristol, the Llandoger Trow (some kind of boat apparently)
For lunch we tried a new (to us) restaurant on Corn St. called Mowgli (see picture below). Indian street food in an upmarket setting, it was very nice, lots of small plates in a kind of tapas style, bit expensive though at around £40 per head. After lunch we worked off the ample food by taking a walk up the hill to Clifton to have a look around the markets and take in the relaxed Saturday afternoon vibe, we were also treated to a tour of the various "student" pubs that they frequent which was nice. The kids were staying in Bristol so later in the evening we bid our farewells and walked back to the station to grab the 8pm train back East, lovely to catch up with everyone and a great day out!
