                <description><![CDATA[At the train station - do not go down to the platform until your train is about to arrive, in the summer it can be stiflingly hot - though they do thoughtfully provide a teperature read out to confirm that you are enduring 40 plus degrees whilst waiting! Stay in the air-conditioned reception concourse until absolutely necessary!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[If you have two legs and can ride a bike, take a bike tour to see the city. Much more fun than the bus. Much more sociable. You get to the seaside as well as the city. <br><br>There are several companies running bike tours. I went with Fat Tyre Bike tours. The guides are knowledgeable and really look after the group. And we stopped for a complimentary beer en route!]]></description>
