As Wilson requested, our first port of call was at Bristol Dockyard to see the SS Great Britain.
(Port of Call — did you see what I did there? Oh.)
On our way there he confided to me that if Mr Isambard was on board he intended to ask for his autograph, and I had to break the news that not only was he dead, he had been so for more that 150 years.
After a minute's thought, W said he would have sent flowers if only he'd known.
The SS Great Britain, having been fully restored, is hugely impressive, and we both really enjoyed ourselves touring the ship and the associated museum and dockyard. W said it was easily as good as HMS Belfast which we both visited a year or so ago, although with fewer guns.
We both agreed that SS Great Britain is a Top Attraction!
