I am traveling back from leeds to sheffield, and I stop off at the
place half way between these two cities, as I seem to remember I have
work to do here. I get off at the train station of this place, and
immediately I step into a boat. The boat takes me through the streets
which are all waterways.
The architecture of this place is so beautiful. There are crystal
bridges stretching over the wide waters, and cathedrals with spanish
ornamentation and gothic decoration, very feminine in form. Everything
shines and sparkles, and the sky is a rich blue.
I have some work to do here. I know I have been here before, but I had
forgotten all about it. I have to go to the old giants ruins, and
explore the lost lands beyond. I get to the huge stone steps at the
bottom, and meet a friend there. Together we start to climb the stone
steps, and as we go up, it gets harder and harder to climb up. I
decide to leave my bike and bags hidden in a little place, because
climbing with them is too difficult.
As we climb we meet two more friends, and we start to get into the
giants old living space. Huge stone floors and windows, and tables and
chairs. And I go up many stairways to get to see the view over the
sparkling water city. And I get to the top, and then remember that my
bag and bike are not locked up, and panic that someone will find them.
So I tell my friends to keep exploring while I go back down to my bag
an bike. When I get there I remember that if I only could remember it
was all a dream I would not need to worry about these possessions I am
carrying.
Now I go back into the town. I need to meet a musician, and he has
left me instructions as to how to meet him.
I get on the tram, but I can't seem to find the way there, and have to
ask the tram driver for guidance. I end up being taken all the way
out of the city only to be brought all the way back in to the city,
where I finally meet him. We have to walk across some really busy
roads, where I nearly get hit by some cars, as the cars are driving on
the other side of the road, and I am not expecting it.
