Today we took cab to Gloucester and walked around town. Spent a long time in the cathedral, which was very interesting. It was completed in 1164. And there was an Abby of monks there from 690. Then we took a bus to Cheltenham, which took about 1/2 hr for 2.50 pounds each. Walked sound the town which is a big shopping town, with multiple malls, avenues, etc all devoted to high end shops. Went to a Beatrix Potter shop, which was the shop about which one of her books was written, The Tailor of Glouscester. Then we took the bus back to Paimswick, another 1/2 hour, and went to dinner at a pub. Jim had wild boar stew which he thought excellent. Maybe if I stayed here for a while I would lose weight, because I haven't been hungry at all. So this was the best day yet, as there was no driving. Tomorrow we go to Tewkesbury and hopefully just spend a day in the town, which is very small.
The driving has been the worst thing about this trip, and if we ere came back, we would do as we did today and take the bus from town to town. The bus driver was very close to the edge of the road and was mashing up against the shrubbery, which grows right to the edge of the road in a mass, but it didn't bother me when he did it.
More tomorrow...
