It's weird to have no permanent address. We can't even say we are going back to live in Wellington as it depends where Beau gets work (possibly not even in NZ). We are currently staying on the lounge floor of GNZ and DrA. Home is starting to mean the place where I open my luggage.
Anyhoo, back to travel summary, We did get to the Roman Baths. They were very cool, but their audio guide was a bit repetitive and slow. We even drank the water, which was kinda gross, but there you go. Beau and I then shared a caramel apple from a nearby fudge shop. There is a picture, I must get it online.
Bristol was our next stop. Staying with exte-ended family (Beau's BiL's ex-stepmother and half-siblings), we were again given someone elses bed. This is the third time! Of course, they have all been single people with a double bed, but still. Rather than touristing around Bristol, we took the chance to collect the UK set and had a short day trip to Cardiff, Wales.
We didn't want to stay too long there, but walked around a bit, taking photos outside the Millenium Stadium and the Castle. If we had more time we would've been keen to go into the castle, but such is life. We did manage to eat Welsh cakes from their covered market though :) They are crumbly.
We had curry and then cocktails with and ex-workmate of mine. So much talking. She and I met when she was on her OE in NZ. She's been back "home" for 4 months now and isn't completely settled yet. I imagine we'll be like that for a while ;)
The day we left we hit the Bristol museum and looked at Sea Dragon bones. It's a nice wee museum and much more manageable than the British one.
We managed to return the hire-car (after some confusion as to where exactly to return it to) and checked in with plenty of time.
We had a great time on our UK road trip and are both really pleased to have been so many places and even visited more places than most UK residents. Now to rest and recharge before hitting Europe!
