Me and the Twins
Hanging out with the Twins in OZHeya Peeps,
Well i have safely arrived in Manchester England.. im surrently staying in a hostel called Hatters in piccadilly, Manchester. The weather is not as bad as i had expected, whats really strange is that, although it is still very cold, there are girls that walk around as if it was the hottest summer days, shocking i tell ya! Brisbane was good, i had a good catch up with the family there, and dads birthday went down well. My flight from Brisbane to Singapore was arghhh i had the middle seat, and we all know that seat sux.. squashed in the middle of two peeps, cant turn either side to sleep, or you'll wake with some strange face in front of yours.. lol.. but the entertainment was good, i watched pleanty of movies and played games, plus food was actually really good too.. From singapore, i got off flight and stretched my legs for a bit, from sitting for 8 hours on that flight.. singapore airport is a piece of art, huge! From singapore I went on to Dubai for another 8 hour flight, and again i had the same seat, but different people sitting next to me.. at Dubai
we had a 2 and half hour delay which was not cool.. i was trying soo hard not to fall asleep sitting in the lobby.. and Dubai is gi-normus! I saw the famous Hotel that sits out on the water, man its gorgeous, other than that, there was a lot of brown.. no green.. and heaps of big buildings! From Dubai to Manchester the flight was about 7 hours, and luckey me i got a Window seat, i sat next to a lovely couple who are from Liverpool and had been traveling around the South Island NZ for one month, and had been there for their daughters wedding, they gave me heaps of tips and were just awesome to talk to.. When i arrived into Manchester it was strange to see the English cops and their funny looking hats.. hehe but at the airport they hold huge guns, man they strict. When I got out of the aiport, i was sooo happy to see my mate Tina, she and her mate Marty came to pick me up from the airport.. from there we went back to the Hostel and i had about a 3 hour nap.. then last night we
The Skies!
Mancheser has a few airports, so the sky looks like this all the time.. went to the irish tavern for some irish music and food..
Today is Friday and we went for a tram ride to Bury.. went to the markets there and got heaps of Chocolate! Its sooo cheap! we bought 5 kitkats for 59pence which is about $1.60NZ, on the way back from bury to piccadilly the tram we were on caught on fire! haha how random is that huh! There's this shop called the Pound shop which is sort of like the $2 shop, i scored 3 pair of socks from there for one pound.. cool hey! hehe yeah i get excited over the little things! We were meant to have gone to Scotland last night, well early this morning, but the bus ride fell through.. so we will head out to Scotland Monday night instead.. tommorow we may be heading to York or Liverpool.. still deciding, either way we wont be staying here, as the hostel is booked out.. Anywho i better get off the internet before i get booted off.. Thank you all sooo much for all that you have been to me, and done for me.. I miss NZ heaps! the people here are NOT the same! at
