Well we went to Manchester in April. We managed to get a great deal on train tickets so we thought we had better snap up the opportunity. Manchester, on the West coast of England, near Liverpool and Sheffield, is, in many ways, just another city. A lot of London folk asked us "Why do you want to go there????"
Well, we visited some friends that we made on the Rally, who actually live in Warrington, on the outskirts of Manchester. We stayed centrally, though, and they came in and showed us some of the local museums, pubs, and curry restaurants. It was really cool to see them again and to get some local insite. Sam's Chop house does really yum traditional English food!
We also went out to Disley, about 35 min by train from Manchester, and walked out to the National Trust Estate at Lyme Park. This house was used as the setting for Mr Darcy's Pemberley in the BBC adaptation of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. (Un)fortunately it was a bit too chilly to make Daniel leap in to the lake in his white shirt and jodhpurs (haha) but we had a great time anyway. Here are some more pics for you all.
