Another winter break, another city-break. This time a little bit further than I recently went, my good friend and I flew off to Porto in Portugal. Why haven't I ever been to Portugal before? The country is simply brilliant, considerably cheap and beautiful as well. And the ocean...
Antwerp was fun! But to be fair I think I won't be able to tell you much about it, it wasn't a typical sightseeing trip. The main reason for it was paying a visit to a good friend of mine who stays there on his erasmus. The stay in Belgium was short anyway, we arrived friday night and departed sunday afternoon, so we didn't really have much time to see anything apart from Antwerp itself.
Once I looked up how close Bristol is to the sea (or actually - the Bristol Channel) I instantly made up a plan to see some part of the seaside as well. I wasn't exactly sure where to go so I looked up a few nearby coastal towns on google street view and picked literally the second one I saw.
After I left Bath, I headed to Bristol. I didn't know what to expect, really, but I'm glad I went there. It's one of the largest English cities, with a cool, fresh vibe. Colourful houses, street art, underground shops... it all was an indicator of a large, creative community.
It has a big university that's much less posh than Oxford or Cambridge, so that might be the reason.
