    Death On The Rocks

    Had a great day out in the city. We know the city pretty well from our younger years and got to see some old familiar sights in a new light and also discovered some other places we hadn't been before. Two of the questions were a bit vague and we had to ask for hints, it could have been because it got dark and it was harder to see the landmarks? Overall it was a great day and would love to do another one soon We will make sure to start earlier so we can take out time a but more with the stops.
