No matter what anyone else says, four days in Manchester is too long

Had a nice morning wandering about until the walking tour. It’s always nice to have a sense of the place before a tour because it gives you a chance to think of some questions or things you’d like to know about. The guides do know a lot and can answer almost any question.

Then I had a long and pointless walk to nowhere because I’m too dumb to look at a map. Anyway that was it for me. I read for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow it’ll probably rain and I’ll be inside all day.

I’m in Manchester. Not much of a travel day though. The train ride was only 45 minutes. They let me check in early and I was able to do my laundry and be out looking around by noon. So that’s cool

I didn’t plan the city part well. Everything that I’d want to normally see is closed Mondays and Tuesdays lol. I’ll have to cram a lot in on Wednesday.

Had a nice look about for a bit then went back to my place for the week, a regular hotel again. Read and relaxed until bedtime. Up early for some sights tomorrow until a walking tour.

The time change today confused me and my museum viewing plans. Also there was a road race and I stopped for a while to clap for the runners and listen to the music. I think it was a samba band. It was incredible, the intensity. Nonstop for 2 hours. Neat.

I was a little sour on Liverpool’s museum scene until the Tate. Great, great stuff. Not too much modern, not too much classic.

The maritime museum was good too but there was 2000 percent more boats than I specifically require.

My last stop was the Walker art gallery. New favorite, it’s like the British museum but only the hits. Not too big and has some crazy stuff.

Overall a good last day. Tomorrow I move on to Manchester. It’s not far but I’m looking forward to a change.

Night, all
