With Andrew and Neethd securing a room in a flat in Bristol, it is an opportunity for the group to check out this highly rated city. They are moving in with other Kiwis, with the plan of commencing the working part of their overseas experience.
Dinner for the evening was a Japanese restaurant on Gloucester Road, Ramen Ya. Absolutely delicious, and very good value.
The next morning, Neethd and Andrew head off with Sue to buy homewares for their Bristol flat. Blair, Scott and Eva walk into Bristol Central for an explore. The inner city turns out to be vibrant, with interesting areas and “nooks and crannies.”
Dinner that evening was at La Florentino Italian restaurant on Gloucester Road. Excellent food!
The next morning, we drove 30 miles south to the Village of Winscombe. The purpose was to meet up with Sue’s Aunt Joan, cousin Sally and her husband George. We met at the local pub for lunch, then back to Sally and George’s rural property for a walk.
We decided to dine in, with Thai takeaways on the menu. It looked like plenty of food, but there wasn’t much left by the time we finished!
Our final day in Bristol, so we visited Clifton, the “upmarket” area of Bristol. It also features the Clifton Suspension Bridge, spanning the Avon gorge and River Avon.
And now, on to Chard!
