Manchester trip of Saturday 7/02

Hi Guys 

Here we are again for another episode of our trip in english territory! Some of us decided to go to Manchester last Saturday, to see a bigger city than Stoke. We have bought coaches tickets, outward and inward for 9£. The departure was at 8 A.M, we arrived at Manchester at 9 o'clock. 

At the beginning, we didn't organise our visit, so first we decided to walk in the city, and find something interesting to do. We crossed the chinese district and then we decided to visit the museum of science and industry, wich describe to visitors the most important inventions of the englishes during the 19th and 20th centuries: locomotives, planes, bicycles... 

 

Plane developed in the 20th century for the royal air force 

Then we went in the John Rylands library, one of the most spectacular libraries in the world, with some amazing collections of manuscripts and beautiful galleries and rooms.  

                            Outside the library (pictures were not permitted inside)

After lunch at the Burger King restaurant, we visited the soccer museum, a place all dedicated to this sport. Then, we went to the natural history museum of Manchester, and we visited the comercial center too. We can see an elephant's skeleton on the bottom.

Finally, we found a pub to wait for the bus and to see the rugby match France versus Scotland. We really enjoyed it. 
To conclude, this Saturday was very plaisant, we have discovered many things and all the museums we have visited was free, so it was really a good day. 
See you soon for a next episode !

Vincent, Louis and Timothée
