Having friends spread around the country is always a good excuse to travel and with Ken, a friend from Uni, currently living and working in Bristol, the rest of us didn't need much prompting to invite ourselves along... It was planned, as all good plans are, over alcohol at the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl.

Lisa and Corde (more uni friends) met up in London on Friday night and caught the train across on Friday morning and Aaron and I had an early start to drive across on Saturday morning. That afternoon, we headed to Wales (just across the bridge) for a pub lunch and to play in a Castle, Chepstow to be specific.
Chepstow Castle is quite large and you can see how it has been built up over time to grow to the size it is now. For those history buffs, check out http://www.castlewales.com/chepstow.html

Saturday evening was spent eating, drinking and generally being merry (can't tell you much more than that, cos I can't remember, though safe to say that it was getting messy by the end of the night).

Sunday, we had wonderful plans to get up and head to Bath, but the weather spoiled that one, so we went for a wander around Bristol in the daylight before heading for home.
