Hull; Sunday, 12 August, 2012

The city run museums didn’t open until the afternoon, but after breakfast I headed to the town’s impressive aquarium – The Deep, located at the point where the River Hull empties into the Humber.

I spent a long time looking round the aquarium, which has a lot more than just tanks of fish, and after lunch in their roof-top café taking in the views of the Humber from the bridge to the sea, wandered over to the Maritime museum, which had by then opened.

After the Maritime museum it was a very short walk across the square to the Ferens art gallery and then from there down to the Hands on History museum in the former grammar school.

By now I had exhausted pretty much all that Hull could offer, so I wandered down to the station and caught the train out to the coast for the rest of the afternoon, stopping off at Bridlington.

After a while in Bridlington, including a very nice fish and chips dinner, I wandered back to the station and caught one of the last trains of the day back to Hull and to my room to pack.
