Today, we went on the Heart of Exeter tour, or at least the first 30 minutes of it. We had planned to take the whole tour, but it was freezing cold outside, and the tour guide wasn't all that good.
We knew it was cold when we started on the tour, but it got a little bit colder as we went, and when we stepped in the shadow of the cathedral (which was several times on the tour), it was way too cold! We bailed out on the tour after a little over 25 minutes, after we had completed the circuit of the cathedral, and the tour was about to head for the High Street. We went into Waterstones, and through to Marks & Spencer for a few minutes to warm up. After that, we began our trek home.
The tour guide on this particular tour wasn't one of the better ones we've had. He was constantly having to rifle through his notebook because he forgot where he was and what he was supposed to be doing next, and he also didn't have answers to any of the questions that anyone asked him (which is rare). We're going to try the Heart of Exeter tour again sometime in the next few weeks, hopefully when it is warmer and with a better tour guide.
