I met a couple of people on the bus going to the brewery so we walked together, it wasn't hard to find though, it was right in front of us. We went inside and it wasn't what I was expecting, there wasn't a tour, it was just a tasting session at a bar in the middle of a gift shop. They had quite a few beers too and I was excited to try some, I haven't had any harpoon beers...yet. The tasting was under way and consisted of s getting little tasting glasses, it being filled with some beer, the bar maid explaining the beer and talking about the brewery. The beers were actually quite nice, I couldn't help myself having more and more, it was free and the bar maid kept on offering it. The session went on for an hour, I managed to try all but one of the beers they had on their assortment. They were all pretty nice, a million times better than Sam Adams but still miles off what I would expect or get at home in England. I met some guy who was their because his wife was at a nearby conference, he was going to the restaurant too so we went together. He is a web based financial advisor or something, he gave me his business card. He was a pretty cool guy, told me a lot about his past travels and things like that, he bought the beers too which was a plus. After the food, he went his way, I went mine which was in the rough direction of the hostel, I had some time to kill before we went to the museum. I went for a long walk on the way back to the hostel via a one of the main roads with shops and bars on it, I saw a bar that had 25c chicken wings, maybe I could go there for dinner. I got to the hostel, put my stuff away in the room then went off with the rest of the people to the museum. It turns out that it was free any ways tonight, it is free every Wednesday. It was an okay museum but not in any way spectacular, I walked around all of it and took my time, there was no point in rushing when I had hours left for my bus. When I was done I went back to the hostel, got my things from a locker. I stupidly lost my code for the locker but luckily for me the receptionist had a key, I got my things and left. I got the train to the bus terminal as I could not be bothered to walk at all, I was tired and had been walking all over the place for two whole days now.
