I took the day off work; and we caught the tram into Manchester. We experienced the dizzying heights of Cloud 23 Bar for the first time.
It was a fantastic June day; the views from Cloud 23 were unbelievable. Pennines in one direction; Peaks in the other. The service was attentive; but not over the top. We didn't eat there; just had coffees. A few years ago another friend and I had had a hilarious conversation with two Octogenarians; who had been visiting Cloud 23 with a view to booking it for their WI. They were scandalized by the cost of the coffees; but more shocking to them was the lack of biscuit on the side!
After our vertiginous coffee we descended and soaked up some rays on the balcony at Dukes 92. Beautiful greek salad; with falafel (and thin chips) and a sneaky glass of white wine.
We were challenging our vestibular systems completely; as we then went to look round the newly re-opened central library! Round buildings also make you feel quite giddy.
It was a great day; we laughed a lot!
