Britain in the sun - Bristol Day 2, Sunday

Had a very nice breakfast (my hosts had prepared a low carb meal with greek joghurt, fruit and some organic juice!) I walked back down Gloucester Rd and into the city centre to check in at the Backpackers again.
The sun was shining from a blue sky spotted with some clouds and it was warm enough to walk around in t-shirt. By chance this Sunday was one of five per year were parts of the city centre are closed to cars and filled with street performers, food and sports activities instead.  Since the Backpackers is right in that zone I didn't have to walk far.
Passed by The Old Duke pub on King Street to check the schedule for tonight as it is famous for having blues and jazz live music each night. Then went straight to the harbour to have a look at those famous ships there. Since it was past 1pm already stopped by Ostrich Inn at the water front and had a pint of Thatchers and a ceasars salad which wasn't particularly good. Didn't mind since I just sat ouside in the sun, at the waterfront with the noise of the city just being a distant rumble, reading a bit in my Cisco certification guidebook. Can a Sunday be any more relaxed? It's hard to find such a quiet and nice spot in Berlin nowadays.
With such a fine weather I spent most of the day just walking up and down the harbourside watching small boats sailing and marvelling at the houseboats towed here and there. Awwwww.... I want one!!! There were even some places left where I could tow mine, hehe.
Had a coffee on the Old Barge and checked PoF for some company tonight. Found a musician and agreed on meeting up for a chat and drink or two  at the The Old Duke. It's just more fun not going alone. Walked around a bit some more, cried inside when I saw a houseboat for sale and had dinner at the Llandoger Trow pub. Went back to the Backpackers and read some more in my Cisco book before heading over to the Old Duke at 8.30.
Had a pint and a nice talk sitting outside with a blues band playing inside.  It was loud enough with doors open to enjoy it and still be able to talk.
So that was Bristol. Very nice city, not too big and with a lot going on. Beautiful places, cosy pubs, music, art and the sea and hills close by. It's definately worth a visit but two days are too short.
