Way to Great Britain: Week 3 and trip to Mancehster

This week I really enjoyed little things. When someone braid my hair, people smiled when they passed me on the streets. I really liked to open new honey bottle or someone from Finland sent me a text or when I was hungry and finally got some food to eat. I also listened music almost all the time during week. Just discovered some new bands and older ones.

First time I tried wall climbing with ropes. I joined to Mountaineering society and we went to West View Leisure Centre to climb. I enjoyed it, cause I really like climbing, but I realized I don't like to be attached with ropes. My glasses almost fell of and rope was little bit on the way while climbing. I learned quite quickly how to do the right knot, but when I had to be the person on the other side of the rope and hold it, I just didn't understand how it works.

Luckily that place had bouldering walls also, so I was half of the time there, on those walls. I just prefer bouldering and I have been doing it over 2 years, I feel like I can be free and climb how slow or fast I want and not depending any other person. That I like. Unfortunately I have to find shoes somewhere, here it's not so common to borrow shoes from climbing center and it costs more than in Finland.

That day the sunset was beautiful when I left the climbing centre, but it was still cold weather.

The next morning I went to our school gym which have awesome name: Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre. I was running on the treadmill and did some push ups after that. I am used to run at soft ground, here I can feel I have been running, my legs hurt little bit at next day. I was so happy at that morning, cause I did 7 push ups! It's a long time I got so many! Exactly 4 years ago I did 10 pus ups, so maybe I break my record here.

When you arrive to the gym, this guy is welcoming you!

Lots of stairs to go

That was almost everything special I did this week. On weekend I had a trip to Manchester, it's nearest big city from Preston. It was my first time in there I bought ticket from online and second time I used train. Unfortunately it was maybe the busiest hour using train, there was lots of people.

The train station was huge at Manchester! Just being terrified when I go to London some day. I haven't planned yet, but I know I have to get there even once! I'm just scared of bigger cities transportation, that's why I also avoid Helsinki in Finland. :D

I visited the Manchester Central Library, Museum of Science and Industry and Manchester Cathedral. Here's some pictures of there, I think they will tell better than words.
