The old railway bridge

Conwy has a castle, and originally had a bridge which let people drive across the river, and into the town, adjacent to the castle. When it was built, some smart soul decided to make it look a bit more like the castle, so it would blend in with it's surroundings. And tada! This bridge was made. Sadly, with the heavier traffic and lorries, they had to close the bridge and make a new, uglier one, but this one is still open for people to come and look at.

Conwy harbour, Wales

After my experiences with photos in Pill, a couple weeks ago, I learnt that I really enjoy taking photos of boats (at least when the weather is nice!) and Conwy Harbour is just beautiful. It was quite cold but the sky was lovely and blue and there were lots of boats kept in the harbour and on the sand bank. I thought it looked a bit like a postcard!

The smallest house in Great Britain

After visiting Manchester, Mike came and collected me and we drove to stay with our friends Chris and Liz. On the Tuesday we had some time off, so went to visit Conwy bay, which is up in north Wales. It is also home to the smallest house in Great Britain! It is a little tiny red house overlooking the bay. I had to have my photo, which everyone says is to scale, but I was actually a tiny bit taller than the doorframe! On the weekend, you are able to pay and go inside, but I'm not so sure I would like to live there, I am too accustomed to having lots of space!

Old Trafford

When we were up at the top of the spire, I could see Old Trafford, which is home to Manchester United Football club. I knew it couldn't be too far, so I convinced Nadeem we at least needed to SEE the building, as it is quite famous. Needless to say, it is just a large stadium, and we couldn't get inside, but it is ABSOLUTELY massive, and must be lots of fun when the team are actually playing!

A very weird museum

From the outside, the Imperial War museum is a very strange looking place, with large shiny curved walls, and a tall spire. It is equally as strange inside, with sloping floors and zig-zag walls. It has a few tanks outside too, but you can't climb on them, which is a shame. Because the museum was free, we were able to pay only 60p! for both of us to go in a lift all the way to the top of the spire. It was great to look around Manchester from so high up, we could see really far, but I think the very shakey, wrackety lift was a bit too freaky for my liking!

Inside the Imperial War Museum

We weren't really quite sure what else to do in Manchester, so we headed off to the Imperial War Museum, which was a taxi ride away. It was free, and small, but really interesting, and had a good collection of WW2 memorabilia as well as lots of tanks! There seemed to be a lot of kids there too. They also had a navy war exhibit going on, which was great, as they talked about the battle of Narvik, where Nadeem and I visited in Norway, in the summer!

Pretty little flowers

This was my favourite photo of all the cathedral photos I took. It's a little blurry, but it shows the lovely purple and white flowers that were all over the lawn in front of the cathedral.I tried my hardest to not step on any, and get a close enough shot to show them at grass level, but this was as close as I could get!
