My 43rd birthday (Wednesday) began and ended at the Ancient Gate House Hotel in Wells, which is where we spent 2 nights. The guidebook described it as having "wonky walls," and we had to climb a circular stone staircase to get to our room. Very cool. The hotel lounge looked out at the cathedral itself, and was the only place in the hotel where we could get an internet connection, so it was a very popular place for our family to hang out. I took a guided tour of the cathedral in the morning while everyone else surfed the net, and then in the afternoon we drove to Cheddar. Yes, that is where the cheese by that name was originally made, and we all enjoyed the factory tour and free samples afterwards. Cheddar Gorge is a beautiful yet very touristy area that reminded me of Wisconsin Dells. We returned to Wells in the evening and ate takeaway fish and chips (Judy and Chris) and pizza (Dave and Erin) at a picnic table facing the cathedral. They even surprised me with a cake! The best gift will be when we finally move into our flat....
