I like it. Although I wouldnt have said that Birmingham is ‘Lovely’ at all.

As it was my first visit I had read and researched the city so we knew where to go and what to expect but seriously, there is nothing that can prepare you for Birmingham.

From the moment you come out from inside Birmingham New Street Station you are hit, hit with the sight of what appears to be a sea of cars.
There are literally cars everywhere… Everywhere!

If there is a rail of some description it will have a car parked next to it or if there is an empty patch of road it wont be very long until there will be a car on it.

On canal streets you seldom see people riding bikes, you are more likely to see a family inside a car than on bikes, it was lovely.

You know what I love? the traffic lights with the digital countdown timer. Makes the wait so much more bearable when you know exactly when the lights are gonna turn green.

You’re right man, before you go you already know there’s gonna be loads of bikes there, but that doesn;t stop it from being an overwhelming surprise. I just couldn’t get my head around it, it was so beautiful. When I got back to brum I became really depressed about all them cars everywhere. What coffee shops did you go to, where did ya stay, did ya go to any museums? Man i’m so excited about going there again!!!!
