A Place to Stay!

We've got our reservations for two Bed and Breakfast's! For the first 5 days we'll be staying in Coventry at "Highcroft Guest House"- about a 45 minute bus ride from  the Crufts Dog Show. And yes, we'll be using public transport for the whole trip to stretch our budget. We'll be within walking distance from both the train station and the bus. Coventry is a good location for a number of things we'd enjoy seeing as well. Once the show is over we'll be relocating to Birmingham to another Bed and Breakfast, "Elm Cottage" for the remainder of our 2 week adventure. From there we'll do day trips to as much as our energy-level allows!

Just outside the "Bull Ring" is the City Center which is a massive shopping district along with the central train and bus stations. Just on the edge of the "Bull Ring" is St Martins Cathedral. There was an exhibit by a local artist of larger than life "vestments" each representing a different sentiment evoked by our modern world- quite a unique way to express concern over today's issues. The Old and the New St Martins Right next door to St Martins is ...
