Goede morgen. Good morning. How are you lovely people doing.
I emptied my shopping bag from yesterday. Got some tops, some pants, some shoes and
even a little fragrance, little game for the classroom.
That plants right there, that branch, I almost fell over it yesterday. Anywho
Jamie and I are walking up to the train station again, 'cause we're gonna go
back to Birmingham, and we're gonna go to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
Which... One thing I love, in England, I noticed that a lot of museums you can
actually enter for free. I think that's so cool because it allows people to view some
art and culture. And we probably have to walk on the sidewalk... Tiny sidewalk.
Yes.
Oh my goodness. They probably trim this... - I thought the sidewalk was small last night. - Yes!
Jamie felt like doing a little zigzag route. I'm
just go for the stairs, and we're trying to figure out how to get tickets. - We can get a ticket there.
So, we have a spot on the train. There we go.
And Jamie mentioned yesterday when we went to Grand Central that the trains here
run on diesel gasoline. I think that's so interesting 'cause in Holland they're powered by
electricity, right? - Yes. - Oh well. Differences everywhere.
Do you want to take a better seat, so this window is not so
annoying? - That's OK. - Yeah? I don't know some seat where...
...the windows are awesome. - This one? - Yeah, perfect.
Yeah.
OK then. This is a smaller train that we have in Holland. Oh, they even have
numbers. That is so funny. Look at this. Okay then, Whitlocks End, we want you, or this train, we want you to take us to
Birmingham.
So, it started raining, and we need the umbrella, because we're not gonna walk
through the museum all wet. So...
Way out. Yay, we found another bear! Hello there, little bear.
Okay. Yes, thank you. - You're welcome. - So, hello people, it started raining harder.
And we're gonna go to store real quick to get an umbrella for Jaime. Jaime, just
like a ton of other people, just purchased an umbrella at Primark.
Literally, when we were standing in line, there were like four or five people also
trying to purchase an umbrella. Oh yeah, he could have purchased it there too huh.
Anywho, let's walk to the museum and view some art.
We found another bear, and we have entered the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
And now we're going to view some art.
Here we have some Dutch painting hanging on the wall.
Who made it, you said?
Van der Velde. - Van der Velde.
There you go. Jamie likes this one the best.
You're biased though.
Oh yeah, and also we're eating a snack.
So we were strolling around this Rome/Greek/ Cyprus art gallery... exhibit...
room... Whatever it's called. And then Jamie looked over and she's like: "hmmm."
"What do I see?" What did you see Jamie?
Maybe there's a dinosaur in that box.
Yep, could be, because it goes those tubes going in.
And if it were to be a dinosaur, or bones of a dinosaur obviously, then it would probably need to be maintained with the
right amount of oxygen or whatever.
So yeah. I'm not sure if that paper up there... That for you, it'll be upside down.
... is what is in there.
Pretty cool.
Jamie and I are now at Browns, and we ordered an afternoon tea. Look at this.
Oh my goodness. This is is her meat stack of afternoon tea snacks.
I have a vegetarian.
That afternoon tea was amazing. The food tasted really well. I especially loved
the scones, the beet... What's it called? ...sandwich, and the mouse.
Like that was really delicious, and the ambiance was really great as well. Don't you agree? - Yeah.
So great experience. And now we're gonna walk up towards the canals
So this is the Chinatown of Birmingham. Birmingham. I'm starting to learn how to pronounce
this city in British English instead of Birmingham - American English. So yeah, we
just ate, so we don't want Chinese food, but now I know is here.
And all of a sudden we're in the middle of a road...
.. type of roundabout, but we went under it and now we're here.
What do you think? - Of what? - This.
I don't know.
Not impressed.
After taking the non touristic route, we got to where we wanted to be.
There's the bridge.
So world, if your budget is quite high for shopping, you definitely
have to check out the Mailbox. However, I've spent money yesterday, so
it's not for me, but I've seen it, and now I can say I've been to the Mailbox.
Now we're gonna actually see the canals.
Goodbye, Malt House. You've been really, really nice to us. So, now we're gonna see
something else. And I think we're going to a park called Cannon Park. Right?
Yeah. - Awesome. Cannon Hill.
Oh, Cannon Hill Park.
All of a sudden there's a waterfall wall. Like how cool is that?
A waterfall wall. You can find it in Birmingham, guys. And some fountains up
there. Cool. And a ton of stairs. Some grass. Lovely. Tall buildings.
Cool. So right now we're walking towards the car. I think. Right?
To the car park, yeah.
Car park. That's also such a British way to say to the garage, parking garage, parking lot. Car park.
Sorry if I have any British viewers, I'm making a little bit of fun of y'all. Just a little bit.
Okay, limbo-dancing?
Oh, that's gonna be tough. - Give it a try.
I'm not this good. - Give me the camera.
No. Not gonna be it.
Not gonna be it today.
Oh my gosh! That's so good. What the heck?
OK, I need to step up my Limbo-dancing game. Holy cow.
There's a train in the park. How cool is this?
It's a party in Cannon Hill Park.
This is an awesome climbing tree, and I think that kid is in front of me just a
little bit, but I think I'm gonna try it. Let's dump this right here. Okay, cool I
think my battery's gonna die soon now, but that's okay.
She's giving me the example.
OK.
So, your turn.
Oh my gosh.
What if I break it?
What? The tree or your legs?
The tree. Wow, this one is shaky.
Yeah. - Wait. Wait. - Branch.
Wow! I made it! Hey, you know how long it's been since I climbed a tree?
Where's Tarzan? - I guess somewhere up there. I'm not gonna follow him, though.
No, I can't see him either.
OK.
Yay!
Well, I sit.
Okay, come on. We're leaving. Bye!
Watch out you don't fall.
Wow.
So, my camera had died like a billion times. That's why I only made a ton of
like few second clips. Anywho, right now we are enjoying a bonfire as you can
see right here. What is that? - There there's a nest over
there. - Oh my gosh. - Birds.
I think we're scared them away. - That scared me. - I know right. Oh no, sad! I'm sorry
birdies. Where are they though. - There in the corner.
Whoa. Okay the birds are going
crazy again. And, also, they mentioned that they have
Cours Light, and I was like: holy cow I used to drink that in the US. So yeah,
we're enjoying a beer or a wine... staring at a bonfire that's not going fully, but
it's going.
