Manchester Trip

So we went to Manchester because I won two plane tickets and a stay in a hotel for 2 nights. However when we arrived in the hotel they didn't have our reservation. After some calls we found out that the reservation had been canceled but we they didn't know by whom. Great. So as the hotel we were supposed to stay in was fully booked they recommended a hostel just around the corner.

This was our first night, not exactly what we had expected...we hadn't either brought towels as we had thought we were gonna stay at a hotel.

In the end we spent only a night there as they were full the next day as well and the girl in the reception recommended us a hotel 30 min walk away. I quote: "it's a nice walk by the river with some nice restaurants".

This was our walk and the nice river:



The nicest thing we saw during the walk was the smirnoff ice blueberrry add:



Quite soon we also realized that the hotel was not in the center but in another part of the town completely.



Luckily in the end it turned out we were staying where BBC is gonna move their offices from London, the whole area was new but there was not much people around which was a bit spooky.


Our
and we had a nice view and could even see the football stadium so Stefan was happy.


When we were finally settled in the hotel we could start enjoying the town.

We had dinner in an Italian restaurant where they insisted I took a rose

Nice scenery:



We met up with these nice girls that I knew from my Erasmus time in Italy in the Manchester University area, I can't believe it's 6 years ago! It felt just like yesterday.

Saturday night we spent having some nice publife beside the canal:


Sunday we spent in the area around our hotel just walking and looking at some shops. We were both quite tired from all the walking around on satyrday.

Stefan left today again for Germany on a business trip so now it's me and the dog for until Saturday. Let's see how we'll manage :-)
