Up at the crack of dawn and off to Bristol, well why not?I found a really cheap flight on the internet from Dublin to Bristol and decided to go just for the day. I had never been there before and was curious - where did the phrase "Ship shape and Bristol fashion" come from?
Anyhow, the flight left Dublin on the 4th of August 2009 at a ridiculously early 06.35 and arrived in Bristol at 07.35.
My brother Brian came along on the trip. We took a bus from the airport to the city and started to explore. We quickly realised that the place wasn't all that massive and that we could comfortably look around it in the day. Then suddenly, out of nowhere - RAIN, and it rained pretty much all day long. Not so comfortable walking around in that. I took this short video of the plane in the clouds. I always find it amazing to get above the clouds and see the clear blue sky up there and to think it could be lashing rain underneath.
Some photos of Bristol.
We left Bristol at 22.10 and touched down in Dublin at 23.05
