A Boat a Day (no.44)


I had a great day today with Genie and Lappo on the Bristol Boat rides tea cruise! It was very tranquil, educational and good fun. The cream and scones were excellent too. I learnt alot of random things about the history of Bristol docks and waterways.






It was a fairly blustery day with a bit of sunshine but thankfully the rain held off, we saw some peregrine falcon's nesting at the top of some drainpipes, the entrance to the Redcliffe caves, some interesting replica ships and buildings and of course the SS Great Britain.



The cruise was about 2 hours in total, we made our leisurely way through Bristol city centre along the river making people wait as one of the bridges moved for us to pass through. Around the back of Temple Meads train station and on to the river Avon.
