Continuing to work my way back to the centre of the old town I dropped in to the Fashion Museum. Anyone who has seen me would probably be surprised at my interest in fashion, but I quite enjoy both historical and modern fashion, so this made the agenda. It is actually housed in the basement of a cafe. They had *a lot* of 1920s outfits. So if you are interested in those it would probably be a good place to go. Since the 20s was about 80% of the items, it looked like it was possibly someone's private collection of items that had a few other items added to it and turned it in to an exhibit. You can probably find better uses of your time.
Wandered a bit more about the old town and discovered that a marathon was going on. But everyone seemed to be walking? The centre was packed. It seems this was some sort of fun run and the real marathon was tomorrow. But the centre of the city was getting increasingly congested as the organisers set things up and blocked roads. I returned to the hotel for a bit of a rest as I have a meal planned for later. Next up I left to do a bit of sightseeing round the bit of the centre I hadn't yet seen and then walk to the restaurant.
