A day in the life of a lighter shade of pale!

So the other day we decided to take a trip to Manchester to see our uni flatmate, Conor (it was also an excuse to go out around town). We got the coach up early in the morning and made our way to Leeds, we had 30 minutes to kill so we decided to look around Leeds market. I have never been to Leeds market and Amy has never been to Leeds so it was perfect! So many people around doing there own thing, us small towners are obviously not used to that amount of humans being in one place.

Amy insisted on buying Conor a small gift, an interesting gift at that, a lighter with a butt on, thats as much detail as you need, although it did get lost during the night only to find it 2 days later in Amy's bag! Typical. We had arrived in Manchester after a 4 hour journey - a hot one I might add, we went and got a pre drink then danced around Conor's kitchen to his ipod whilst he was at work. Then the night began, we went to a place called Factory with Conor and his friends. It was the sweatiest, most claustrophobic club we had ever been in. They had every type of music genre a youth could need and on different floors too! (plus the drinks were cheap so I'm not complaining). Granted we were hungover on the morning after I had 2 hours sleep and Amy functioning on none! The journey back was a nightmare, missing our coach because we read the times wrong was hard to accept after we had travelled 30 minutes to get to Piccadilly and ventured 15 seconds in a taxi to get to the coach station because we thought it was miles away! However, our luck changed when we heard a woman over the speaker asking people who were on the bus to Newcastle to board, Amy had asked if we could get on it and we did. Getting off at Middlesbrough and then trying to find the train station to take us back to Aycliffe was a very slow and tiring walk.

Apart from the travelling part the trip was great and since our schedules have been nothing but days of going to the gym, writing blog posts and filming Youtube videos, it was good to get out of Aycliffe. Although our bodies didn't agree! Next year we plan to go inter-railing, lets hope we've been on a few more trips before then to understand that travelling long hours and sitting in the same place is no treat but we know it'll be worth it!
