Bristol Article - Nicholas Lizard inspired


There is only one city that has beautiful views of which the imagination craves, wonderful sun rays caressing and complementing your skin to a desirable tan. The luxurious scenes of which you wake up onto a sun bed in the middle of a tropical beach holding a martini with your loved ones. Sounds like everyone’s dream right? I mean come on who wouldn’t want to go to this dream city?
Is it Dubai? Madrid? Rome? Or even Los Angeles? 
Well...
 For certain, that city isn’t Bristol. Let’s face it, it’s pretty much impossible anyways. But on the other hand Bristol do have one or a few tricks up its sleeve. For example there is the slightly hopeless chance of beautiful blue skies in winter, and maybe a few in the summer where you can finally whip out your tank tops and sandals and catch a nice tan, but you shouldn’t have your hopes too high. Bristol is much like the many disappointing gifts from past Christmases sprinkled with a few amazing gifts (they are amazing because you actually get used to the disappointments you will fall in love with something you’ve wanted).
One of those disappointments is the harsh weather. Yes, we’ve all had many of those bad memories. But I am specifically talking about the hope of wishing the weather in the future (tomorrow) could be sparring and that it shouldn’t rain whilst you are waiting for the bus or walking to school. But deep inside you know it will rain, but it is always good to have some hope. On the other hand, Hope is absolutely useless if you ever find yourself waiting for the 36 First bus, which eventually  you turn up to school 2 hours late meaning that you were buggered at the start… so if I was you, walk.
All the negatives behind, Bristol does have those amazing organised/unorganized events which does really entertain you greatly. For example you might expect there to be one preacher who is totally convinced that aliens are taking over the world (there isn’t really a guy specifically like this but it gives you the sense of entertaining random people you meet at the city center), or Bristol’s annual Balloon Fiesta which amazes crowds from Bristol or tourist with its spectacular performances.
To be honest Bristol is what you’d expect. But that’s why you love the city.
