very important marks, as being the world's first industrialized city, having the largest Chinatown in Europe and having the oldest public library in the world, the Chetham's library. Founded in 1653, it still provides public access to over 100,000 books free of charge, and it's worth going along only to see the magnificent building itself, which is even older than the library, dating from 1421.
We just arrived at our 6th destination, the City of Manchester, within 20 hours
.
Take a look at the entire trip, we are making progress! - Let's try to keep at least one thing from each stop with us!
"Can you see the end of this Journey ?"- The Road Goes Ever On
This update contains our previous walk across the United States. On the right is our progress on the current trip, a walk across the entire globe.
Can you see the river going through the city? That is River Irwell, and it will be our next stop. Manchester has a well developed Canal transport system powered by ferries and "Waxis"(Water taxis)
A dawning shot of The Quays, docks around the canal.
We were lured by the great attractions of the docks; with shopping centers, museums, stadiums, cinemas and restaurants all within "walking distance"... (for us, so are other solar systems!)
After a 2 mile walk we arrive at Manchester Museum, what could be waiting for us inside?
Egyptian statues; The Manchester Museum has over 16.000 Egyptian artifacts
Statues turning by themselves : Spinning Egyptian statue > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asvclru8CKo
The guild proceeds through the Museum until they find Stan, the T-Rex. - "The Tyrannosaur skeleton in the museum is stirring!" - says a Habitican -We'll have to strike fast before it heals itself!
