Hello, I want to show you some pictures and tell you about this amazing experience we had. It was short but we managed to enjoy our loved ones, see a bit of the city center and its atmosphere even for 4 days.
We were able to walk around a few streets and I was able to take pictures. I liked the Christmas decorations. All the shops had beautiful windows with Christmas decorations, and such illuminated pictures. Unfortunately we only walked around during the day and didn't get to see them all lit up.
There were lots of people on the streets and it looked like everyone was in a hurry to buy gifts for their loved ones.
I liked the buildings in the town. Most of them had such similar facades - with bricks, beautiful windows and neat front doors.
I was impressed that there was parking in front of each building. This is definitely something that is noticeable when you live in a city where parking is a mirage and you may have to stop your car in a neighborhood - because that's the only place you found to park.
I've noticed there are a lot of barriers too. Probably so the residents of a particular street or building ensure that when they get home from work there will be somewhere to park.
Another thing that struck me was that there were lots of little parks. They had well maintained greenery, paths and even benches for children to rest on while they played.
Most of the pictures I took were taken from the car in motion - because when we got to where we had to get out of the car the little one kept wanting me to carry him - 4 adults and he was still glued to me. But it's normal we are together all day and being separated from me is not something he enjoys.
I did manage to snap a few photos of some storefronts that made an impression on me while we were walking around. This is a British pub in the centre of town.
I was amazed that there are some pubs that offer food similar to what is available here.
I was really happy to see this shop, We passed by it a few times. The barber there was carefully doing his customer's hair. I watched him work, got spotted, and "ran off" with the group :D.
Overall our trip was interesting, filled with lots of emotions and joy. It would have been nice to be able to get around a bit more, but with a toddler that's hard to do.
Come to think of it we toured if I'm not mistaken 2 towns, but which one I took a picture of I have no recollection. They were like neighborhoods to me, but they are actually two separate small towns!
