"Messing about on the river" Dee and RHINOMANIA



Its great when Dad comes because we do touristy things...

...like messing about on the river, this time a 2 hour boat cruise along the Dee on the fairly new boat "The Jackie"








We were soon past the famous suspension bridge








along the straight mile



... through 'Eaton Estate', home of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster past Heron Bridge and Eccleston Ferry, meandering around the crook of Dee and through 'Eaton Estate' with its most beautiful and peaceful scenery



Aldford was next,
then the wonderful sight of the Iron Bridge, before returning to Chester.



It was lovely. And we had just enough time to see a few rhinos!

Chester has been brightened up with 62 colourful rhinos dotted about all over the city all 6 feet in length and weighing 60 kilos. In addition there are 116 baby rhinos decorated by local schools. During the school holidays the town has been full of families with their rhino maps following the trail, some are really stunning.

They have also made it over to the Choaks



My favourite so far is the Jigsaw Rhino. (Puzzled Rainbow, number 14)
