In Hamilton, we stayed in the old schoolhouse building. It was beautiful and had a fire going when we got there. The weather had changed and was now very wet.
We headed to the local pub for dinner. The pub owner came and spoke to us as it wasn't very busy. He told us all about the history of the pub. It was built in 1834. Under the pub was a cellar that had been built by convicts. He invited us to come back in the morning and he would give us a guided tour of the cellar. We turned up just after 10.00am and knocked on all the doors we could find as well as lots of windows. No answer. After about ten minutes we gave up. We were both very disappointed as we had been looking forward to seeing the cellar. The owner had told us that he had a busload of people coming in at 11.30 so he can't have been too far away. We could see into the kitchen and there was no-one there. Out of kindness, we decided they must all be at church so left a message to say we had been.
