      I had mushrooms on toast which was topped with really tasty crispy sage, while Tom had Eggs Royale and a Bloody Mary.

      M Shed is a museum in an old transit shed on the docks at Prince's Wharf.

      There's a giant hall filled with buses, planes and vintage cars and then there are exhibits upstairs, filled with relics from old Bristol.

      They even had a few Banksy originals which was nice to see.

    There was a little shopping area called Cargo next to the museum, built out of old containers.

      It was delicious and made the perfect hand warmer as we walked along the shore.

    We then took the Cross-Harbour Ferry across the river. It only cost 90p and was worth every penny.

    We had hoped to go to the Bag Of Nails cat pub but they were closed when we arrived, with the cats starring out of the window. A mini full of puppies drove past us, which was a bit of a consolation prize.

      With no cat pub and time to kill before our flight home, we decided to go for another cider sampler at The Stable.

      All cidered out, Tom fancied going to The Beer Emporium for a beer, which was in a cosy underground cavern.

      We ordered the vegetarian sausage pizza with goats cheese and red onion. They'd worked some kind of magic by substituting the meat for barley flavoured with sausage spices and it tasted really convincing.

      We stopped off for one last cider at The Apple, a floating bar on a barge before heading to the airport to fly home.
