Nice, the look inside some of those distillery buildings must have been particularly interesting.

one question...were you able to tell if the visuals in St. Pauls are frescoes, dry paintwork, or something else?

^Not sure about the rest, but some (including scenes on the ceiling) were first painted on canvas and then glued on to the building surface (according to the brochure).
