So I just had an amazing day in Manchester! I was up early so I could take the 8.00 train to Mcr (that's the abbreviation). I got off early so I could walk to Old Trafford, the football grounds for Manchester United. I had time to hit the megastore before the tour (I am now sporting a Man U t-shirt in Liverpool - living dangerously!). And the tour was amazing. I was able to go into the Players dressing room (unfortunately they weren't there), the lounge room and then walk through the tunnel to the pitch as the crowd cheered and music played (it was a sound track!). I was so excited and I don't even follow football that much. It was a beautiful day and the stadium looked majestic! Afterwards, I went through the museum which was cool. It was well worth the trip.
After, I walked all the way back into the city (a little longer than I expected and it was blistering hot!). The city is great: not as industrial as I expected. There are beautiful buildings and great areas within the city. I ate lunch in Chinatown, walked through the shopping districts, went to a few museums and then walked towards the train station. It was an exhausting day but I loved it.
It has actually been a long few days as yesterday was a long day of travelling: I am so glad I do not have to take any more ferries and the train trips get fewer each day. Just an update, my clothes are finally dry (3 days later) and I have replaced by shampoo (but still am angry that I had to!).
Tomorrow will be a full day in Liverpool - home of the Beatles. I plan on doing a tour which should be exciting. Who doesn't love the Beatles?
Anyways, check out the pics I will post on Manchester - they are great!
Love, Lisa
