This morning we wandered into the city centre to the supermarket, Morrisons. We picked up a few things to have in our room for breakfast and then had lunch in the cafe. This afternoon we explored the city and spent some time really taking in the culture and the atmosphere here.
As we made our way through the city we met and spoke with a few people including a woman at the bus station and several people in shops. Everyone here seems very approachable and friendly. Most of them were interested in striking up a conversation with us. We've also noticed that things are more laid back than in London. The mass transit is much more limited here but thankfully walking has been a pretty good option. One of the most interesting things is the fact that everything closes down so early. By 6pm, all of the major shops were closed down and the city centre was almost empty.
Personally, I am in love with the old architecture and the fact that you can hear the seagulls from any part of the city. It just seems like a quaint little place. Brennan and I were discussing this afternoon that its so humbling to think that one of these places we're visiting will be our new home one day. It's just such a blessing to be here and to get the chance to be surrounded by the culture and the people for a short time. Below are a few photos of this beautiful town!
