Thursday.
We got up showered and changed at the hotel then packed and checked out we had until 11am anyway but we wanted breakfast so we left about 10.15 am. I wasn't paying hotel prices for breakfast when there's a Spoons next door. The Figure of 8 is a good one too. It pulls in most of the hotel passing trade. A savvy guest knows to head there for free refill coffee and hot breakfast.
We got the tram ( wasn't there last time we stayed, they were just laying the tracks) to Grand Central Station, New Street to you and me.
From there we walked through the German Christmas Market and popped into the mahoosive Lush ( on two floors, including a spa!) I got a wax melt snow fairy and a couple of bathbombs. We use them in the foot spa now we have no bath. Lively treat when we have walked.
Then we set off to the bus station ( no fancy names there) We noticed that they were laying tracks there so eventually the tram will go there too. That'll be a big help if we go again.
We had a bit of a wait for the coach but we had coffee and watched the world go by. We got home about 4.30, and from the sounds of it just in time ss there was an accident near the Broadmarsh bus station not long after we left. The pointless bus stop is no longer pointless as we realised how handy it is if you are using national express, which we do a lot.
It was lovely to have a small break but also lovely to come home too. I miss Willow and although she is well looked after by Charlotte I know she misses us.
