When you have good friends and a free day.

Despite how hardly I tried to fill in my free time between exams and while waiting for results, I still had too much of it. Joke! But still, what is a better activity when the weather is so good and you have been in a country for only half a year yet than day trips to other cities! The glorious megabus gives a chance to travel between bigger cities cheap, so why not to use the chance.

Manchester

Upon arrival. I'm not saying we got lost. It only took us longer to get where we needed.

MOSI - Museum of Science and Industry - a really fun interactive museum. Definitelly worth a visit!

Inside MOSI. My passion #2 - wind power. Had to have a photo!

For me Manchester was a city where old and modern comes together  in  an exceptionally harmonic manner. I have once described Manchester as The City of Craziest Buildings and I do not take that back. It's just surprising how well they fit with the old architecture.

Another example of how old and modern comes together - this is an altar in Fraser Chapel, in the old Gothic Manchester Cathedral.

Finished the stay by trying frozen yogurt for the first time. Delicious!

Bristol

My extremely long and picturesque visit to Bristol on my way to Milan didn't leave me thinking I've seen enough of it, so given the chance we were on the way.


Civil engineers and the b.e.a.utiful suspension bridge. (Photo clearly taken not by a civil engineer -.-)

By the cathedral. I found Bristol as really lovely place with its own charm, I'd gladly stay there for longer.
