Manchester: The end but the start
June 14, 2024 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
📌 A flight from Poland to Manchester! The end of our travels to get to the UK, but the start of our next adventure. It had been an unbelievable journey so far, we had learnt and seen so much that we won't forget. Both keen to get some routine and to stop being a tourist for a while seemed like a nice change on the horizon.

📌 We travelled on a packed train from the airport to Hebden bridge where we met a woman who was also heading to Hebden bridge, she was super stressed and so grateful we helped her with the trains and times. Our first impressions of the UK were going well, the northerners were already loving a chat with us ☺️

📌 We met Emily at Hebden bridge station, and we were welcomed to a very quaint and cool town. It was nice to be in the comfort of someone's home, particularly with a furry friend named Brunswick.Read more
Traveler Nice to hear your now somewhere you can call home for a little while xx

Day 17–22
Birthday Week
July 1, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
📌 My birthday week started with some cheese and wine in Hebden bridge at a cosy wine bar which was then followed by Coldplay at Glastonbury. The rest of the weekend also involved drinks whilst watching England escape sudden death in the euros with a 95th minute goal.

📌 Chloe made a cake for my birthday, a first for her and a special gesture considering she has no idea how to bake ☺️ We enjoyed a chana masala and a relaxing evening, nothing to crazy as I was working.

📌 On the Wednesday we headed into Manchester where we tried an incredible combination of Indian Street food and a brewery, excellent find 👌 We ofcourse had headed in for another gig, this time Avril Lavigne supported by Simple Plan. It was held at Castlefield bowl which was a small but great gig location. Simple plan were good as usual but Avril was mental, an incredible show of nostalgia. Chloe was up on shoulders for skater boi! 🤘

📌 Saturday we headed back into Manchester for a suprise date Chloe had planned. We started at an early dinner at Sparrows, a central European restaurant serving German pasta (Spatz), pierogi and Pelmeni. It was set in old industrial rooms under a bridge. We then headed to a bar to catch some of the Euros (Eng vs Swiss). We finished the night at a comedy club which was 50/50, some acts were good others were average. Overall a great night and delicious food!Read more

Day 3
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

Very fast layover in Manchester

Had to get off, go back through security then back on the plane. And it felt like security was across the airport from the plane. What a mess 😬 On the move again, headed to Singapore!
Should I bring my own food? [Lisa M]

Day 22
Manchester
August 8, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Mein nächster Step war Manchester. Als großer Fußball Fan konnte ich mir es nicht entgehen lassen eins der großen Fußballstadion anzuschauen. Gerne hätte ich mir auch das Trafford Stadion angeschaut, welches „nur“ 7,5km vom Etihad Stadion entfernt war, jedoch hat mir dann doch die Motivation und Zeit gefehlt mit meinem ganzen Gepäck dort hinzulaufen.
Positiv viel mir besondere auf, dass im Zentrum die Busse gratis sind (leider nicht in Stadion Nähe). Generell was das Thema öffentliche Verkehrsmittel angeht, kann Deutschland noch einiges von Groß Britannien lernen…
Auch sonst hat die Stadt einiges zu bieten, so konnte ich in schönen Parks mein Neu gekauftes Buch lesen, viele second hand shops besuchen und entlang der Gewässer spazieren gehen. Besonders die ganzen Studenten, geben der Stadt ein ganz anderen Vibe im Vergleich zu den anderen Städten, die ich bisher besucht habe. So ist diese im Gegensatz zu Leeds stets belebt. Dazu später mehr….Read more

Wat meer info over Manchester:

Binnen in de cathedral kun je veel kleine engel vleugels zien hangen. Dit staat symbool voor de aanslag in 2017 tijdens het concert van Ariana Grande.

This department store was across from The Old Wellington where we ate. Trevor saw a pair of Gucci sweats for 775 pounds...about 1,000 or so dollars. Not everything cost so much though. The entire first floor was handbags!Read more

Had breakfast at The Oxnoble. The pub has amazing ratings on Google, but the food was disappointing and the service slow and not amazing. We felt like still in Germany.
