I had a plan today - I was going to catch a bus to the Trafford Centre and also go to a couple of other places on the same bus route, including an outlet mall and the Imperial War Museum North.
Trouble is, I never made it past the Trafford Centre. Depending on how you measure it, it's either the second biggest, or the biggest, shopping centre in the UK. I spent hours just walking around, looking at the shops and buying the odd thing. By the time I was finished there, I was completely exhausted! So, I'm afraid the other places are going to have to wait until another time.
Paul's trip to Nottingham was a success - he got lots of stuff he wanted and at a much better price than he would at home. Of course, we actually have to get it home, so tomorrow we're going to find out about posting things from the UK!
Now that I've actually been in Manchester for a day, I've decided I like it here - there's just a nice atmosphere about the place. Paul and I have agreed that we could easily come back here again and stay a bit longer. Of course, we'll probably end up saying that about most of the places we go to :-)
