During the first week of March I had the doubtful pleasure of hosting my mom around the West-Midlands, which is basically the state in which Coventry is situated within the UK. The couple of days she was here, we actually managed to visit quite a lot. Birmingham was one of the places we visited.
Unfortunately I will have to be very brief about Birmingham, simply because I didn't think it was that good. at all... The website: Visit Birmingham mentions quite some sightseeing, but I have to admit that, after rushing through the city to get some administration done, we had accidentally already seen and/or passed by most of the sightseeings of the city. So I will have to be honest, don't go there to be a tourist, go shopping instead. There are malls everywhere, and it's an easy day-out from Coventry if you want to get out of town for a day or even an afternoon. Because of all the shopping centers, there are quite some street musicians as well, giving life to the city centre. Birmingham: a lot of shopping, a little bit of jam'n.
