Chester another walled city revisited.

The public transport available to us this morning left us in a quandary as to where to go. All the buses went to places we have already visited in Gypsy Rover when we were cruising the “Cut”, Liverpool, Chester, Ellesmere Port and Runcorn. Dot decided that she would like to go to Chester so Chester it was. One thing we noticed with the bus routes is that a lot of them are via Chester Zoo. The city father’s are obviously keen to have plenty of people visit this long established city attraction.

As it was still extremely windy with occasional showers we spent most of the time in the indoor market, St Michaels Row covered shopping complex and walking around the first floor Tudor covered shopping walkways that were built before shopping mall’s where even thought of.

Not forgetting Chester's famous Victorian clock tower on the city walls.

Since getting back to camp the sun has made an appearance but this blasted wind is still howling through. Last night’s weather presenter’s did make the comment that don’t travel today unless you have to due to extremely high winds.

The Rows Chester's unusual 2 level shopping must be have been unique in their day, if not now.

Now that is low.

Tomorrow it looks as though the country is to see a return of Volcano ash from Iceland once again.  We  experienced this when we returned to New Zealand in April last year, hopefully it won’t be as bad as it was then with all the disruptions to air travel.
