Birthday at a Bus Stop
... I was smitten with the canvas. There were four set meals for breakfast, Gareth and I opted to share an omelet and 'bacon’ (it was cold and not bacon) and porridge and pancakes both served with fresh orange juice and tea.

After walking around the city for a few hours seeing lots if churches we decided we would enjoy the comforts of a nice hotel and went back for a much deserved afternoon nap.
