Firstly, if I am too bad at updating this blog, it’s because we have been too busy doing activities, and then it is too annoying to write all about them in one go.
Also, you can also check out svendsblog.isprettyawesome.com for updates from his perspective.
So at the moment I am in Portsmouth, but I better write about Hereford first.
We stayed at a motel for a few nights and visited the Catherdral with the Mappa Mundi. Which was an old map of the world written on vellum (calf skin). It is pretty cool with it’s circle shape and mythical creatures.
The cathedral also has a link to the Christchurch Cathedral and they raised some funds for it.
Earlier that day we also visited the King Offa distillery and Cider Museum. Very educaional, and we also tasted a few samples of cider brandy and liquor. I learnt that pear cider is called perry. They had an early edition of a book on apple breeds (is that the right word?). Very nice pictures, but the postcards were only of the less nice ones.
