Why pay for a bus when you can walk for free? The free shuttle buses only operate within the city centre and the links between Manchester, Salford and Salford Quays are not great. I wasn't training, I went into the city centre before I had to go to university to collect my results. Then I decided to go to Salford Quays to take some pictures, but they didn't turn out great.
I don't mind walking, I'd rather walk than use a bus or taxi. It's the day after that I don't particularly enjoy
It's great, you get to take much more in and occasionally, discover new shops/places to eat. The bus just takes you down the main roads, past all the places you know of.
Still no rain here, but should get here in the next few hours. I know down on the coast it has been rough. Last I saw 500,000+ are without power. At least one levee didn't hold too, causing major flooding. This afternoon and tonight should be interesting, to say the least.
Hurricane Isaac lit up by moonlight as it spins over the city of New Orleans, La. at 1:57 am central daylight savings time the morning of August 29, 2012.
