Bristol Layover for the Semi-Final

Post by AdamK »

So I take it a few of us are getting the Bristol flight with the silly layover time. My mates in work told me that Bristol is actually a nice spot, worth taking the time to go into town, having brekkie and a few pints etc., etc. Does anyone know Bristol well? Any good places to kill some time?

I am on your flight,if you are into cricket,Gloucestershire are playing Glamorgan in a 4 day game starting today. Saturday is day 3,if the weather is good might be worth a visit.Ground is 2 miles north of the city. One could have lunch and a few pints,and taxi to airport.

Sorry Adam, we're on the same flights too but the daughter has exams starting on Wednesday so we'll probably end up just camping out in the executive lounge for the day to allow her to study - it costs £16 for the day and drinks and snacks are included!!!

You're probably right - I'm one of those boring non drinkers so I didn't check to see if the drinks were of the alcoholic or non alcoholic variety

Think I'm going to go into town for breakfast and do the sightseeing bus tour. That will kill a couple of hours. Travelling solo for this one and don't trust myself to be hitting the bar at 7.30 am without my wing man to look after me.

Hahaha that's what I was thinking. There's three of us going, but we're probably as bad as each other.
