Dear Everyone,
today I started working again after one week of holidays. It was lovely having last week off and I spent my time well, travelling around England visiting four cities. It was great to get to know other places than London although nothing compares to it.
Monday: Leeds
Leeds is the perfect city for any shopaholic. The city centre is mainly occupied by shopping centres offering every retailer you could possibly want. For all the culture lovers there's plenty to see as well: The Cathedral, Town Hall, Library and Old Post Office are just example. One of my favourite places were the Mandela Gardens, the perfect place to relax after exploring the city.
Tuesday: Manchester
When most people hear Manchester they probably think of football. But it has so much more to offer. Yes, there is the National Football Museum (which we did not visit) but even more impressing than that is Manchester Cathedral, one of the most beautiful buildings I've seen so far. If you are a fan of nights out The Printworks and The Corn Exchange are a must for you. They are stuffed with bars and restaurants and we actually spent our evening there going to the cinema and having a drink afterwards.
Wednesday: Liverpool
Liverpool was my favourite city out of all the ones I visited on this trip. That's probably because it is on the sea and I just love being at the seaside. For every Beatles fan there's the Beatles Museum to visit. It is on Albert Dock which is perfect for going on a walk, having a nice meal and maybe taking a ride on the Wheel of Liverpool.
Thursday: Birmingham
This city is one for people loving old being mixed with new. The city centre impresses with modern buildings like The Cube, New Street Station or the Library, but then you also have the Cathedral and St Martin in the Bull Ring, a moss and ivy covered church. If you head down to the canal you find a lovely and quite place to walk, which I absolutely enjoyed.
By Friday I was back home in London, my favourite city of all times. There will be another post on Friday about my weekend, which was actually quite productive this time so stay tuned.
See you!
