After a great breakfast, the kind innkeeper drove David, Rava, Jim and I to Vindolanda. Pat & Holly decide they’d had enough Roman antiquities and took the bus back to Chester’s Walled Garden, which they enjoyed very much.

The narration in the reconstructed buildings was a little cheesy (Rava and I had some chuckle’s over the inanely cheery Roman housewife) but they gave us a nice sense of scale.
