Bristol

It was my birthday today, so my parents took us on a mini holiday to Bristol. Tom surprised me with a box of macaroons on the train, so we munched them on the way as breakfast.

After arriving at the train station we caught a ferry to the city center. They also do booze cruises, which sound like fun.

Bristol is famous for it’s pirates (can you tell by the accent?) and graffiti, though we failed to spot any Banksy. We started off at College Green, which we recognised from episodes of Skins.

Jenny Mugridge recommended that we check out the awesome exhibition at the City Art Gallery.

The exhibition was really good with lots of pieces I liked.

There was an awesome gypsy caravan, I’ve been trying to win one in my boxes of muesli.

We wandered around Clifton afterwards and went for a coffee at the Boston Tea Party – a cute coffee chain, which I’ve only seen in Bristol.

In the evening my parents treated us to dinner at Carluccio’s for my birthday.

It was raining too heavy in the evening to do anything, so we snuggled up in the cinema and watched Salt.
