clockwork s'Mart

Returned to SS Great Britain today, just to get some pictures with the camera (I’ll put them on Flickr when I return), but I’ll post a couple here for now..

… the renovation of the interior is amazing considering when it was returned to Bristol it was just an empty shell.

The replica of the 1,000HP engine was very realistic and I wondered how they got the huge gear in the ship!

… from Brunel’s SS Great Britain it was off to the Clifton Suspension Bridge another truly amazing feat of Victorian engineering; first of its kind in the world!

… from the bridge it was just a quick trip to Bristol City Zoo…

.. yes, its the ass of the very rare red panda…

… awww, little baby Meercats, they were tiny.

… view from the pub… nice eh?

… finally a view from the hotel room; end of a perfect day.
