Today we looked at some sights around the city. We started off at the castle - which of course mostly isn't there any more - but the duke of the day some time in the 17th century built a huge house on the site. This is mostly still there, and it now contains an interesting museum. Lucky for us, as well as all the normal displays, they currently have a display of 10 drawings done by Leonardo da Vinci, including detailed explanations of when/ how / why they were done. Overall we spent quite some time here.
Next we went to "Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem" for lunch. This is a really old pub beside the castle - it claims to be the oldest inn in England, but so do quite a few others.
Finished off the afternoon with a walk down by the canal, and then back to the apartment for dinner.
