The first note
Hello, Alex!  It’s time to find your present! I know you may think it's a bit annoying that you have to look for it. But I’m sure it will be fun! And I’ll try to be helpful. Find my second note under the big rock on the pavement.

The second note
You’ve made it! Let’s start our trip. First, go by train to Birmingham. Of course, I’m joking! Don’t do it. Your present is much closer. Now you are standing by the theatre. Look how beautiful it is! Go straight and turn left. Go along the street and cross the road at the zebra crossing. Be careful and look both ways! Go past the shops and go into the café. This place is very attractive for tourists, so there are always many people there. Try to find a woman with green hair. She will give you the next note. 

The third note
Was it stressful? I hope it wasn’t. Now catch a bus number \(628\) and go to the next bus stop. It is surprising how quickly the bus can take you there. Look at our city! It is so beautiful! Get off the bus and go into the library. Ask for the first Harry Potter book and find the fourth note.

The fourth note
You are very close to your present now! Go around the corner of the library, go straight for \(100\) metres, turn left and cross the road. Now you can get inside the building you see and look at your present.
