London trip
Right so a few weeks ago steph phoned into my work and booked the first weekend off in February for me. Simple. I was convinced we were going somewhere in in the west midlands, not too far from Birmingham, but far enough out the way to mean we would have to get a coach to take us there….
Day 1 - Feb 3rd:
So yeah we have to wake up about half 5/6am to be up and ready and out the house so we can catch a bus at 7. I cant do early mornings, they make my tummy feel nasty lol. But yeah we get to cradley heath station and get on the first train to moor street, bham. And I finally know where that is now. I have walked past that station a million times and thought it was some shitty museum thing.. the reality was very different haha. Next on the agenda was breakfast, and we went straight to the awesome food van on the rag market and got a lush brekky baguette and headed to digbeth for the coach station. We got to ride on a posh express coach with bunny ears to what I then found out was going to be….. LONDON! From then on I don’t think I stopped smiling till I got home on the Monday evening haha. The coach only took about 3 hours to get there and it felt like 30 minutes. We got off at Victoria station and walked round and steph took me to see my first surprise…
Madam Tussauds. FUCK YEAH! It was fucking amazing.. tom jones, Hitler, Madonna, graham Norton. What more could I want?!
Went got to go round live chamber of horrors.. and well, I shit my pants royally. Its like a really dark dungeon and real actors jump out and scare the shit out of you. The one was like breathing in your face and staring in your eyes, fucking freaky and I got told off for swearing by one of them. Gutted.
Went on the underground after that to go find our hotel. And the underground isn’t that scary, infact it was quite ace! We got off at gloucestor road station and steph took me to our surprise hotel….
FOUR STAR! Holiday inn. It was gorgeous, our hotel room was wkd, the bathroom was lovely. Four star bliss I tell ya. We couldn’t decide what to do on the night so we thought fuck it and got the tube to Westminster and walked round there and by big ben and parliament and stuff and was being all gay taking pictures, which turned out amazing tbf. We walked round to the London eye and it was beautiful seeing all of London lit up at night.
I didn’t want to get stranded at night in London so we head back early and found a cosy little Italian restaurant by our hotel and ate some gorgeous food. And so was the end of my first day in London.
Day 2 - Feb 4th:
Got up mega early for full English breakfast and fruit in the hotel that steph had already sorted, bless him. Then we got dressed and he told me about my next surprise… WEST END THEATRE that evening to see… MARY POPPINS!!!!!! So we had to find the prince Edward theatre and steph wanted to pick up his tickets he had pre ordered before the evening. We got to go round covent gardens and into the big famous sound control/virgin megastores, which wasn’t that impressive to be fair. And then soho and we went into a sex shop, which rules. Oh what ghost world urges I had, but I fought them and stayed calm. I was the only girl there though. Then we found ‘denmark street’. A street FULL of music shops, that’s it.. just music shops. Wow.
BUT we had to go and get the tube quick to go to Camden baby!!!!!!! We went round the million and one markets and had lunch there. God if I had money I would have bought everything there. I fucking love Camden. Theres no where else like it I swear.
Later on we came back to the hotel and got ready to go out to the theatre darling. I tried to look sophisticated and elegant, don’t think it worked, but my hair looked nice lol
Mary Poppins was amazing, fucking amazing. I nearly cried at the end lol. They changed the story line a bit, to make it easier for the stage I guess but either was it was fabulous. She actually flew too!!!!
Steph said we should get something to eat round the west end and it was getting late and I said nah nah we can get something by our hotel..HA! we should have stayed in the west end, when we got back everywhere was closing or only serving drink..but we did find somewhere to eat eventually, even if they were kind of mopping round our feet. End of day two.
Day 3:
Got up early to have breakfast and pack everything to leave, I wanted to cry it was so sad. We got the tube to London bridge and had a look round the tower and bridge and HMS Belfast ship thing. Had to pay to use some toilet thing… that’s ONJE thing I hates about London… having to pay for nature calling. Pfft. Went to soho for one more look around and he tried some guitar stuff in denmark st. .Had dinner in some greek chippy. Then walked oxford st for harrods and later realised we were in the wrong place and it was infact by our hotel grrrr how annoying. Caught tube to Victoria walked around like zombies for an hour and waited for coach
The journey home consisted of trifle and watching narnia on stephs laptop annoying the old peple and taking awesome pics.. great journey home..
I had work the next morning, that was a killer. I miss London so much. And I was only there for 3 days. We did so much that I have forgot half of the stuff as I was writing. Fucking amazing. My boyfriend is the best in the world and that weekend was proof. I didn’t pay for a thing, he planned it all and he made it all perfect. I did a lot of things that weekend I have wanted to do for years and he made it happen. I fucking love that guy.
