What's a girl gotta do...

...to find an internet cafe with a working printer? Walk across the city for 2-3 hours, is what.

Eventually, a woman in the public library took pity on me and let me print the voucher I need for my London hotel room for tomorrow night. Such an angel.

Needless to say, before this walk started, the day was a bit hellish. Thankfully though, everything is resolved and I'm on my merry way again.

Though, it's a really lovely day (maybe 14 C/ 60 F) and walking around was a real joy. I know Spring is only a few days away, but I'm constantly amazed at warmer weather. After being in Summer for so long, and then coming to nasty Winter, I keep expecting to have to deal with six months of nasty, cold weather. It's such a lovely surprise to walk outside and not need a scarf, and to need sunglasses.

I managed to get back to the Manchester Art Gallery, and see the photographic exhibit and some more paintings, that I missed yesterday. The MAG is one of the coolest museums I've been to in a while. It has a really good collection, with a solid mix of British, European and contemporary art. They also have a real cool Interactive room, which is VERY fun. Even for adults.

I can get tired of going to Cathedrals, but I never, ever get tired of going to museums. Because you never know when you're walking through a room, and then suddenly a lesser-known, and very, very lovely, Modigliani or Renoir just happens to be there.

I love art.

Oh, and I bought a couple bath bombs at Lush a little while ago. The hotel will surely have a bathtub (3* after all) and a friend and I are staying in London in a rented apartment that has a bath tub. I sooooo miss taking baths, and will be gleefully taking baths as much as possible next week. And making the bathrooms smell all lovely and girly.

Thankfully, the friend I'll be shacking up with next week appreciates a girly-smelling bathroom.
