After our morning at the SS Great Britain, we joined back up with everyone at Mark and Erica's flat before walking the very short distance to Brandon Hill. A lovely steep park complete with playground and a tower. We set up our picnic area over looking the playground where the girls entertained themselves. Post lunch, the boys set up a game of boules - reminiscent of the lunchtimes at Southampton. The afternoon went quickly and too soon it was time to think about heading back to Oxford not before climbing the Cabot tower, a 105m built in 1897 giving excellent views over Bristol.
I'd imagined Bristol as a large congested city. However the Avon River, Floating Harbour combined with the historic buildings and the rolling hills with easy access to the country side and the beach makes it a city I would love to come back and explore more. Perhaps we could squeeze in another trip before we go back to Australia...
