The team in castle marina have been able to accommodate us and the boat will stay here for the next couple of months, so today we became a tourist and visited a few of Nottingham attractions.
The first was a statute of Robin Hood, it didn't look like Errol Flynn,Richard Green or Kevin Cosner.
We then went to the Castle which isn't that impressive and quiet a disappointment as castles go.
Though the caves that are abundant around the city are quite cool, the castle is mainly a museum and art gallery, there was not a lot about the biggest star Robin Hood, which was another disappointment.
Denise as Robin
Though the views of the city are impressive from the top.
We then went down the hill from the castle to the Ye old Trip to Jerusalem http://www.triptojerusalem.com/
which is one of the oldest pubs in England,this is a must visit for any tourist as a big part of the pub is cut into the rock underneath the castle .
We then left the pub after a quick pint, and made our way through the town to Galleries of Justice Museum....http://www.galleriesofjustice.org.uk/
This is another well worth paying tourist attraction, it takes about an hour and a half of learning about the courts,jails and punishment of day by gone. Well worth the money
A few of the clients .......
The final punishment
The gallows last used in 1887
Lucky they Let us out, so back to the boat and some dinner then a night by the fire.
