On the way home we saw the Tigers bus..this is the local soccer team!!!

Then this afternoon I took the local bus into the big city of Hull.

Two athletes from Hull were in the Olympics and the boxer actually won the gold medal and the city had a ticker tape party for them.

I was there early so went for a walk down the old part of the city and the buildings are quite nice.
