trip to Manchester and Liverpool...

so summer has officially begun..and first year of uni is done! 
=D 

Ruth and I decided to take a trip to Manchester and Liverpool to go see the famous football clubs. 
=) 

lazy to upload pics...... can see them in my FB album : 


we took a train to Manchester. 
and stayed the night..... the main attraction obviously was the MU FC. 

it was really cool going around the stadium.... enjoyed it alot. 
and other than that, we just took the bus around Manchester to see the city. 

the Quays. nice waterfront...... it's pretty at night!


ok...... let me compare our hotels: 


Manchester.

Liverpool.

=S 
£5 difference a night...makes a BIG difference! 


 Liverpool..... 
went to Anfield stadium. 
the tour was not as spectacular as MU's.....but it was still good la. 


 also took a sightseeing bus around Liverpool to see more of the city. 
went to Albert Dock, passed Chinatown, Anglican Cathedral....etc. 
 another highlight was the Beatles Exhibition... 
though not really a Beatles fan....but still enjoyed it. 



it was a hectic journey getting back to Hatfield, though..
we left Liverpool at 8.48pm...
reached London near midnight. 
but then...we had to wait at King's Cross Station for almost two hours!
the trains kept getting delayed. 
finally, got on a train...
and then.....AIYO! they stopped at a little town, saying that they were not going any further due to a fatality on the tracks. =X 
so we were stuck....no money....middle of the night...in a strange town. 
what to do?? cry lor. 
no laa... ahhahah.... 
luckily there were a few other people form the same uni,...so we shared a taxi all the way back to Hatfield. 
finally reached home near 4am... 


what an adventure...... 

more to come as summer holidays continue!!
