Wrecsam->Chester

"Croeso Cymru". I am really at Wrecsam, look you!
Today we were given the afternoon off and coaches were supplied to get us to Chester
I took an audio tour of the cathedral - you can see a picture of the 'Chapter' - the place where the monks had read to them a chapter of the rules of St Benedict each morning
The old city wall is complete at Chester - you can walk all the way round in about 45min. This is a view of a shopping street from the wall

And here is a typical parade of shops from street level.

The trip to Chester finished with a 2hr boat trip up the Dee with a hot meal provided. We saw eels, deer and a cormorant - as well as canoists and serious (Oxford & Cambridge boat race type) rowing boats

Even at the street height level picture, we're still seeing from a Dad's eye height, so we're still higher than normal :o)

The evening boat dinner sounds nice too!
