With my laptop powered down and locked away I picked up my camera and headed out into town for a little explore.
The hotel is right in the historic centre of the city and I had a little wander round some of the small streets in this part of town, though getting round appeared to be a little tricky as lots of roads were closed off and there were hoardings everywhere.
Eventually I made it in towards the centre of the city, only to find that the very centre is currently a massive hole, the hoardings closing off a large part of the city centre that is being redeveloped.
I eventually walked round the edge of the cordoned off area and by the time I finally found the northern end of the works site to turn back towards the old town I realised I was up near the station and a couple of cheap restaurants, so I headed up there to grab a bite to eat.
The walk back towards the hotel was equally as complicated as again the hoardings prevented the quickest route, but eventually – having seen much more of the city than I was expecting – I made it back to my hotel and my comfy bed.
