The Corn Exchange
This lovely building was first stop on our visit today. Graham wanted and ice cream from a very nice cafe but it was only 10am!
Leeds city centre
This was the view from outside Leeds Museum. The interesting towers had large gilt owls topping them. The museum was interesting and interactive with primary school children well engaged in the exhibits. From here we went to the Art Gallery which houses a diverse collection but were disappointed as the Moore gallery was closed for re-organisation.
The Armoury Museum
The Armoury Museum is in Clarence Dock just behind where Banjo is moored. It is a fantastic building on 5 floors housing an incredible collection and history of weapons. Some of the large exhibits were magnificent.

We couldn't resist a go on the crossbow firing range - having let loose 8 bolts each, we will not be applying to join the olympic squad! On return to Banjo,we had a chat with the neighboring narrowboat and we have agreed to tackle the Leeds and Liverpool (and its reportedly heavy/stiff locks) together, tomorrow morning.
