      Faster train to Manchester

      10 juli 2019, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 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.Meer informatie

      Tarde de Manchester, parte 1

      5 augustus 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Tras el café hemos pasado por una oficina de información y por fin hemos tenido un mapa, porque íbamos super perdidos. La oficina estaba al lado del parque Picadilly Gardens, donde había mucha gente ya que hacía y solaco que no veas. Hemos seguido en dirección al hotel, pero hemos entrado al Ardnale (el centro comercial más grande de UK) por verlo un segundo y hemos terminado comiendo allí, en un local de comida de Singapur (no sé cómo es el gentilicio xD) Ana se ha tomado unos fideos de pollo y un rollito estilo primavera pero diferente, y Pablo unos vermicelli con pato.

      Tras la comida, que no hemos sido capaces de terminar (¡los fideos no se acaban nunca!) hemos llegado al hotel, hemos hecho el check-in y nos hemos ido a ver la catedral. De camino, nos hemos cruzado con una manifestación de veganos que nos han dado unos panfletos, a pesar de que Pablo se ha parado a contarles que su mejor amigo era vegano y que por tanto estaba al tanto de todo lo que iba a decirle. Total, hemos cogido los panfletos y visto la catedral, para luego ir a ver el Albert Hall, la biblioteca pública y el Ayuntamiento. Cuando íbamos a seguir, hemos empezado a estar un poco cansados, así que nos hemos quedado descansando en el Monumento a los Caídos, donde hemos escrito esto. Ahora continuamos que la Chinatown de aquí está cerca.      Meer informatie

      Manchester y el Gay Village

      5 augustus 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Hoy hemos desayunado a base de bien en el hotel. Bueno, eso Ana, porque a Pablo se le ha ido de las manos y ha terminado desayunando zumo, huevos, salchichas, bacon, patatas rebozadas y un croissant. Se puede ver su plato en una de las fotos.

      Tras recogerlo todo, nos hemos ido hasta la estación de Lime Street, desde donde hemos cogido el tren a Manchester. Han sido unos 40-45 minutos, poca cosa, en los que hemos ido cada uno a lo nuestro. Cuando por fin nos hemos bajado en la estación de Manchester Picadilly, no había ni un solo puesto de información. Así que con la inestimable ayuda de Google Maps (y de la memoria caché, porque tampoco tenemos datos por mucho que no haya roaming) hemos averiguado donde estaba la oficina de turismo, pero en lugar de ir hasta allí directamente, hemos dado un rodeo para pasar por el Gay Village, el barrio LGBT de Manchester, donde está todo decorado o murales, banderas multicolor o pixel art de la bandera.

      La verdad es que es muy bonito. En particular, hemos parado en Sackville Park, un parque frente a un edificio de la Universidad de Manchester donde hay un par de monumentos a la comunidad LGBT, y el Alan Turing's Memorial, una escultura de tamaño real hecha en bronce y silicio del padre de la informática. Pablo ha leído en la placa que como homenaje, el escultor enterró bajo la escultura y el suelo del parque su Amstrad. Tras eso, y como queríamos entrar un poco en calor, hemos ido a por un café al Café Nero, desde donde hemos escrito esto mientras nos tomamos un capuccino y una manzanilla tamaño extra.
      Ahora vamos a coger ese mapa e ir para el hotel, que está al lado de un centro comercial donde comeremos, ya que el check-in no es hasta las 14:00.      Meer informatie

      Tarde de Manchester, parte 2

      5 augustus 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      La Chinatown de aquí es mucho más grande que la de Liverpool. La de Londres debe de ser enorme. Además de un arco tiene un pueblecito muy mono donde nos hemos hecho una foto, y mil restaurantes de diferentes sitios.

      Sin embargo, no hemos parado ucho por allí, ya que por la mañana habíamos visto que en Picadilly Gardens había muchosbpuestecillos de comida y teníamos curiosidad. Hay muchos diferentes, y a Pablo le ha hecho mucha gracia que en uno de comida española, había paella a la que podías añadirle chorizo por una libra. Su frase ha sido "cuanto daño ha hecho el Olivier".

      Hemos terminado de nuevo en Arndale, porque merecía la pena verlo entero, y aparte de las típicas tiendas de marcas conocidas hemos visto 2 que nos han encantado: una de LEGO y una de hacer tu propio peluche. En esa íbamos a hacerle uno a Javi, pero en todos lados ponía que esos peluches eran para mínimo 2 años, así que hemos pasado. En la de LEGO hay de todo: los construible de las colecciones que tienen, llaveros, y puedes comprar piezas sueltas del color y forma que quieras por peso, impressive.

      Tras echarle un ojo, hemos tomado un café en otra cafetería del centro comercial (hay más cafeterías aquí que bares en España), y hemos comenzado a escribir esto.

      Ahora vamos a terminar de ver el centroa cenar algo por aquí y probablemente comprarnos unos pies nuevos antes de ir al hotel. Nos falta por ver el Manchester Arena, así que mañana madrugaremos para verlo antes de irnos para Londres.      Meer informatie

      The Danes of Manchester

      15 augustus 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      While my Grandfather, his second wife, his brother [Uncle Puff], two sons and his nephew left India in 1947 [at the partition of India] and moved to Australia, another brother [Charles Edgar] eventually went to England and in his later years settled in Manchester. My grandfather and his family were probably more British than the British, and India at that time was not the place to be.

      Carl Dane, his two daughters, Lorraine and Amanda and son Carl are now the Danes of Manchester and I couldn't come to England and not visit them - a beautiful and loving family.

      We started the day with a trip to the City of Manchester. Not a long drive from our hotel in Oldham - around 25 minutes. Manchester is a real mix of buildings and spaces, some very old, some very new, some run down and some very smart. On our quick visit to the city we didn't get a good feel for the place - but you can't do everything.

      In the afternoon we visited the grave site of Marie Dane [2011] as well Charles [1970] and Jane Dane [1971].

      Time for a farewell to the Danes and of course we all got together in a Curry Restaurant thanks to Carl Dane. A great night and fond memories.

      Tomorrow we are off to Birmingham - only a 2 hour drive down the road.

      Cheers,      Meer informatie

      Old trafford & stuff...

      25 juni 2017, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Went for a tram ride, wandered into Old Trafford cricket oval (guy who worked there let us in). Then toured Old Trafford soccer stadium - pretty cool. Lunch @ a great Italian restaurant, then back to the city for a spot of food shopping, and dinner at Manchester's oldest pub, 'The Wellington'.

      St Bees tomorrow...      Meer informatie

      Old trafford

      1 mei 2016, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Matchday.

      Manchester United hosting Leicester City.

      Is this going to be a three-point game for the Reds, or is Claudio Ranieri getting his first ever trophy?

      We arrived at the stadium at around 1 pm. The crowd began to show up close to 2 pm; the game kicked off at 2.05 pm.

      Anthony Martial's early goal put United in the lead, but Fox' captain Wes Morgan equalized before half-time and the scoreline remained until the end of the game.

      Leicester City are not yet champions; it still has to be determined by the game between Spurs and Chelsea.

      Winning or losing did not matter too much; it is the atmosphere that impressed me the most. The fans - home and away - supported their teams by chanting and cheering all along the game. It was a non-stop ninety minutes. When the away players leaved the pitch, the home fans applauded for them as well.

      The Leicester fans were singing even after the game; yet they deserved to be that excited - they were so close to being the champions.

      Wish the Foxes luck.

      Heading back to London.      Meer informatie

      Pretty special day for Dan ... one never to forget seeing as he's one of the most dedicated of Man U fans ever!!! Did a tour of Old Trafford with the great Stan (our lovely guide), spent far too much of Dan's money in the megastore and of course took in everything the museum had to offer. Now off to Alton Towers for a day of fun tomorrow... woohoo!Meer informatie

      Just finished our first full day In England. We went to the famous stadium, Old Trafford, where the first Ashes were played. We then went to the Manchester United's home ground and did the tour of the stadium, it was really awesome. I bought a Man U jersey. We are missing Storm very much and we love him so much.Meer informatie
