Lovely tour

We had a lovely time exploring the city with Lee. Even tho it was short notice he made it happen to show us the city and told us lots about it. We enjoyed the tour a lot and got a bit of a feeling for the city and it's history. Even tho it was freezing Lee made sure we could warm up along the way. Cheers!
