bristol full of pirates







travelled to west england for some time on the waterfront at bristol, very picturesque, boat cruise and steam train travel, included Brunels swing bridge and the largest metal sailing [later steam] ship of its day, built 1840's, did lots of trips [1 million miles] carrying immigrants to Australia, and during the rain went to the bristol museum and art gallery in the posh suburb of clifton, holding an eccentric collection of chinese porcelain, dinosaurs, paleo-, meso- and neolithic artefacts and stuffed wildlife and moth eaten animals none of which we could photograph
