Streets and Underground Walkways

Today did not start promising. Rain last night and showers continuing today. Not heavy showers but still a grey old day.

It would definitely work if you knew your way around. Neil and I gave it a crack but did not travel too far. The locals however know what they are doing, it is linked to the metro and 200,00 use it daily. It was certainly very busy down there.
Afterwards we walked into the Arts district but it was a short walk as the showers started again.Read more
