I thought my first weekend in London would be hard to top, but this past weekend I went to Manchester with about 20 other kids from my school and had a blast! We started with a British Studies field trip to Lincoln and saw the roman ruins and the Lincoln Cathedral which was beautiful, but FREEZING cold. Not my favorite trip but it was very interesting and full of history.
Then we took a bus back to school and hopped on a train to Manchester! We stayed at a really cool hostel called Hatters which was actually really nice and had a lot of fun people staying in it. We were all pretty tired by the time we got to Manchester that night so we went to bed pretty early so we would be well rested for the game the next day. Our hostel was about a 1o min tram ride to the stadium and we got there about an hour before the game so we had time to walk around and checkout all the fans. It was packed and super exciting! We went into a pub before the game and you could barely move it was so packed with Manchester fans. We had really good seats on the east side of the stadium and got a great aerial view of the field. The game itself was really good and they played against Hull city with a winning score of 4 to 0. One player, Rooney got a hat trick and scored 3 of the 4 goals! All in all it was a very fun and exciting day followed by fun Manchester night life out on the town. Then we caught the 11 am train back to Gratham, exhausted but happy to have experienced such an authentic english weekend with a winning soccer match!
