Chester

---

So begins the start of my solo trip and first stop is Chester. It was talked up a lot in my guidebooks but now that I'm here I can't say that I understand the hype. Chester is very tourist dominated, and yes the old black and white "Magpie" houses are nice, but they can't help but feel a little fake, as if they're deliberatly on show just for the tourists - which of course, they mostly are. Whatever Chester's charms are, I'm not really seeing them. Glad I'm only here for one night.

Photos

Queen's Jubilee Clock in downtown Chester
Apparently the second most photographed clock in UK after Big Ben. Not sure why though..

Main street Chester
and the hordes of tourists

Chester's 'famous' town walls
A bit overrated if you ask me..

Exhausted at the Chester hostel
and yes that IS what I look like in glasses, and no you may not laugh
