Last Sunday in Bristol. A forgotten post.

Today we caught a bus from Bath to Bristol Airport. We chatted to a Bath resident on his way to Portugal.

When we arrived at Bristol airport, we range the proprietor of a b and b we had booked and she came and collectd our bags. We took the bus into Bristol and walked from the bus station through unremarkable business streets to an area called the floating harbour. This area was full of people . We had a brief but fun ferry ride along the river a short way to the SS Great Britain. We spent some time in the museum and on the boat.  This ship was the largest iron hulled steam and sail vessel of its time, built in 1847 ??.  It was designed and built by the famous engineer Brunel.
It  made many trips  bringing  immigrants to Australia over a period of 30 years.  Over its very long life it was modified several times.  At one time it's engine was taken out to make way for cargo.
