Today we visited the museum of transport which had free entry and  really was quite interesting .
It was primarily based on the production of transport in Coventry from bikes to Jags , after lunch ok it was a Greggs pasty but it was good even eaten on the move  we then moved on to the Herbert museum which included everything from industry to classic art and modern art , very interesting and also free , Both of which are really well worth a visit.
next on our very full schedule was the cathedral the old part really did bring to life the realities of the  wartime bombing there was of course no charge for entry next we moved on to visit the new cathedral , this was where the Yorkshire  breeding kicked in again , £16 to enter , I think not  , so again we viewed and admired from outside .
We did find out later that you can enter for free for the five pm evensong but I am not sure that would be the correct way  I would rather just look through the windows.
We finished of the afternoon with a stroll round the charity shops in the centre , bought a nice  copper jug for £4  looked at a few dvds for £1 and passed on some others at £2 However at the witching hour of 5pm
the city suddenly changes to a less friendly place an influx of police , beggars drunks and ladies? we took a wrong turn and ended up under a multistory car park but to our relief found our way back to the safety of the canal basin and what for now is  home.
Unfortunately tomorrow we must leave as our 48 hrs mooring limit  is up in the afternoon .
Coventry really does need more time to see all , perhaps another time
