I want this train to start...
Am on way and Brum is just over an hour away. Any suggestions for good but nottoo-expensive nor bland central hotels? #twitrip
er, hotels
Kitchen on train not working. Sigh. Best brekkie near New Street? Mr Egg? As suggested by @jamesdclarke among others #twitrip #birmingham
Fab. Hotel sorted. Now for the Mr Egg/Victoria Sq cafe dilemma instigated by @daveharte. And @leonbarrett Warstones.. #twitrip #birmingham
Will definitely go to @BM_AG on Chamberlain Square. Is there one room/painting I really, really have to head for? #twitrip #birmingham
Malcolm giving direction. Go left... #tritrip

Late lunch, healthyish, with a communal table? Would custard factory provide? #twitrip #Birmingham
It's stopped raining... Now following a map drawn by ben @BM_AG

A drizzle themed detour thru river and floodgate streets. Might have to succumb to a taxi #twitrip
Ah, that's better. Soup on way and iPhone getting a much needed recharge #twitrip
Tonight: good pub quiz, open mic night, late night gallery opening... Any suggestions? #twitrip #birmingham
Thank you@daveharte @elenheggl (and others) for warehouse cafe lunch suggestion...#twitrip #birmingham

Moor street station channels a 'brief encounter' vibe. #twitrip #birmingham

Pretentious caffeine question: can you get a 'flat white' in brum? #twitrip
I've seen the past at the pen museum (excellent!). Now settling down for some wifi...
And it comes with added filming. The BBC is filming Hustle across the road. #twitrip

Time to ask for public transport help... Best way from church street to Ikon? #twitrip #birmingham
Frankly iconic... (and I could ride in its sonic lifts all day long... #twitrip #birmingham
My first canal! (with added ducks) #twitrip #birmingham
I'm cultured, canalled and caffeined up and it is nearly balti o'clock (TY @benjilanyado). Am hearing Lahore is best. Agree? #twitrip
And, on a whim, what about artisanal cocktails (fancy things with fancy gin)? The Jekyll and Hyde? And @TheWellyBrum for a pint? #twitrip
Al Frash is coming up on the near side... (TY @BostinBloke @nebolland among others)
There's a reason I 'only' had soup for lunch and it comes with naan bread. Starting to salivate. #twitrip
Course-by-course tweeting scuppered by wifi fail but food fab - pic to follow #twitrip
Scary hair (i blame the rain) but fab food at al frash #twitrip

Spoken word, 10 min dj slot, then aptly-named band 'they came with weapons' #twitrip
The dj doing his bit for amnesty. #twitrip

Raffle of coop goodies, £25 bar tab, home baked cake...
'they came with weapons' appropriately metally - with a touch of early ozzy perhaps #twitrip

It was a taxi trauma. Bank or Jekyll & Hyde as per @fionacullinan. Went with latter - not disappointed #twitrip
£3 cockails? Now I know I'm not in London. (ghostly image of moi a bonus)
