Roadworks

The main street of the old town that I mentioned winds around the castle was suddenly blocked by preparations for an outdoor concert with police guarding a cordon, so we had to take a detour to the river to pass around it. Many others were forced to do the same and so we all found ourselves walking over a building site with men shoveling dirt across our feet as we walked past, some with buggies dragged over the earth. I suppose we should have been grateful they didn't close this as well and force us to walk even further back to escape the old town. We had decided to pop back to our hotel to drop of some of our gear and enjoy the final evening unencumbered by our usual bags and cameras.
