Hectic Holiday part II
Where was I?? Oh yesss.. Lake District. We spent two nights there. On the 3rd day, drove up to Edinburgh, Scotland. The city's beautiful. Real gothic and ancient looking buildings. But the people there were kinda... weird. Most of them had tattoos on them. Some had weird hairdos. There was even this man with ring piercings all over his body. When I say all over, I mean ALL OVER... every single inch of him (I think :p) At first I didnt' notice him. My sis initially thought he was a statue... until he moved. Too bad we had to catch up with Dad and he was the one having the camera. So yeah...we didn't manage to get a shot of him.
Spent a night there. Next morning, we went up north again to St Andrews.. the birthplace of golf (apparently) since Mum and Dad love golf. But the journey there was nice. Scenic.
Mum and Dad went around the place. While they were walking around, my sis and I decided to sit around the beach and read our book. After some time, we headed back into the car instead 'cos the bench wasn't that comfy and I fell asleep.
Drove down to Manchester that evening. Checked in kinda late so, Old Trafford had to wait :p Come morning, we took a train down there. It was a day after the England vs Jamaica friendly. So the entire place was kinda dirty. There were cans and papers everywhere. Hahaha.. there were even stickers saying "Love United, Hate Glazer" pasted on some road signs and poles. Oh well...
Went in for a tour in Old Trafford. Only Dad and I went in. Mum and Jo aren't footie fans, and it was kinda expensive... so they stayed outside. We were brought in to the trophy room and museum before the tour started.
The only disappointing part is that of all days, of all times, they had to re-soil (if such word exists) the pitch~! I'd thought I get to see the nice pitch.. but no~! All I see was sand. But nevertheless, it's a dream come true :D
I got to see the stand, the ex-press conference room, the home team area, the dressing room, the lounge... basically everything~! :D Really an eye-opener for me :D
Aiyak.. Australia vs Japan's match coming up soon. Wanna go watch. Will update part 3 later on.... hopefully :p
