Choir Trip 2025: Detroit to Bristol, July 18

After a long night of flying and a quick layover in Paris, we arrived at Heathrow and headed to Bristol. It's about a three hour bus ride, so we stopped at a service centre for lunch. After a quick meal of sandwiches, chips and ice cream, we hopped back on the bus and were o our way!

We had a buffet dinner hosted by the hotel, and everyone retired pretty early - though our tradition is to stay up in the lobby and play cards, we'd been up for almost 24 hours straight and needed to sleep!

The annual Bristol Harbourfest is happening this weekend, right outside our hotel – there's a lot of people and some really loud music, rides and carnival games. It's fun to be right in the middle of everything, and convenient when you wake up at 3 am (10 pm Michigan time) and want some lamb and chicken shawarma - the restaurants were open til 5 am!
