      Day 4

      Day 4 MANUTD => Old Trafford

      April 21, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Today is our 4th day in Manchester. We visited the Old Trafford Stadium today. But starting from the beginning:
      Today I realised, that it is no exception, that busses never arrive on time. Yesterday I came to school with a delay of 16 minutes. Albeit my bus should've arrived 19 minutes earlier, at 8.57. Today I wanted to take even an earlier bus, estimated arrival time was set to 8.45, our school starts at 9 o' clock. But as I stood on the bus station and waited for some minutes, another bus arrived. As he drove in the same direction, I took him. I thaught this could be my first day without a delay. But then we stood at the highway, for 10 minutes without moving in any direction, as I am while driving back home this evening and writing my daily blog. And I arrived with a 2 min delay at our school, I really felt ashamed, as I am swiss. I'm never late normally. Tomorrow I'll take an even earlier bus. School was not that interesting, my teacher told me to "shut up", because I talked with Timon in Swissgerman.
      Then we had lunchbreak until 1 pm, we went to tesco and bought sandwiches and a limited galactic edition coke. It was ok, but normal coke is better. In the afternoon we drove to the Old Trafford Stadium of Manchester United and had a very interesting tour there. But unluckily we had to put all metallic stuff out of our pockets and I had a swiss army knive with me. I just put it on this screening table as I would do in Switzerland. The security said that he will leave it there and I can collect it later. After about 10 minutes inside the museum there comes a security guard to me and says we need to talk. I didn't even know why first, but then he told me that this knives are illegal in the UK and that he has to take my personal information. They've sent it to the police now and my knife is getting destroyed. Altough I legally bought it from Victorinox in Switzerland and legally travelled with it through the swiss airport. The knife was really expensive, so I'm very upset now..      Read more

      April 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      There are no postboxes (Briefkästen) in Manchester.
      Or at least, I haven't seen them until today.
      If you want to send a letter to someone, you have to put the letter in a red [hydrant]. It wouldn't surprise me, if your letter will never arrive.. At least there's written royal mail in capital letters on the hydrant.Read more

      Faster train to Manchester

      July 10, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      I caught a 9:06 am train to Manchester. I booked well in advance. For an extra 10 pounds, I went first class. It was a treat. The 2 nd class was packed but hardly anyone in first class. I had an interesting conversation with a Scottish businessman heading dow to Manchester. He and his partners ran ski schools in Europe. Ski schools in Europe are independent of the lift operators. He had no idea what Brexit would bring, whether he would require visas for any of his employees. He said the uncertainty was crazy. At one point in his life he had been a Scottish nationalist but really wasn't sure that would work. He didn't hold out much hope for either Boris Johnson or Hunt? I let him get back to work and read the crime novel I had been dragging for the whole trip. I finished it so I can now ditch it. It wasn't that good. It seemed that as soon as I got into England, it stopped raining. Scotland was beautiful but I don't think I could live there as it rains too much and I was lucky to have not had that much rain on my trip. I made it over to my accommodation by 1 and left my stuff while I went and checked out the Imperial War Museum. They had some interesting stuff. I was so engrossed by the displays that I walked beneath a Hawker Hurricane jet suspended from the ceiling without noticing. They had JRR Tolkien's service revolver from WW1. A unique car from Eastern Europe that Jack may recognise. Part of the plane that Rudolph Heist had used to travel to England, part of the Twin Tower from New York. I lasted about two hours but saw pretty well everything. It would have taken longer with Cheryl. Media City where both ITV and BBC are located are very close to the IWM and I noticed walking by that they produce the childre's television show Blue Peter there. Blue Peter is a weely children's show that has been running since 1958. I remember watching it when I lived in England for a year with my parents. We even named our sailboat Blue Peter. It brought back lots of memories. Tonight I am just chilling out again as these travel days exhaust me.Read more

      Ausflug nach Manchester

      April 2, 2017 in England ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      Ich finde ja jede große Reise sollte auf einem Bahnhof beginnen. Habe ich das schon mal erwähnt? Und was für große Reisen gilt, kann auch für Ausflüge nicht ganz falsch sein. Also machen wir uns heute in der Früh auf zum Bahnhof und ab geht es mit dem Cross Country Train nach Manchester.

      Auch hier erwartet uns eine ausgeprägte industrielle Vergangenheit und viel Backstein. Jedoch scheint diese Stadt auch geprägt durch chices urbanes Treiben und viel moderner Architektur.

      Unser Weg führt uns zunächst durch die Innenstadt, vorbei an der Town Hall und dem Civil Justice Centre zur beeindruckenden John Rylans Library. Von Außen und Innen vielmehr einer Kirche gleich, ist diese Bibliothek ein echter Hingucker.

      Im Anschluss durchqueren wir das angrenzende neue, modernen Viertel Left Bank und wandern Stromaufwärts zur Kathedrale, vor deren Pforten wir das schöne Wetter für ein Mittagspicknick nutzen. Nach einem kurzen Abstecher ins örtliche Hardrock Café und das angrenzende National Football Museum schlendern wir weiter durch die Innenstadt und dann entlang der Kanäle bis Bridgewater.

      Nach einer köstlichen Stärkung im Hamburgerladen Byron am Piccadilly Garden (der Milchshake ist ein Traum) geht es auch schon wieder zum Bahnhof und zurück nach Birmingham.      Read more
