No I’m not
talking drugs here. I’m talking about actual trips to exciting places. I used
to do lots of them when I just moved to Leeds. But somehow I have stopped going
places lately. Time to change that! I’ve made a list of all the places I want
to go to before I leave Leeds and started booking things. This means I have
much excitement to come!
Last
Tuesday: Kirkstall Abey
Who: Michele (who was back in Leeds for a couple of days!) and Tim
Why: Michele and I both had never been and so we decided at the spot that we were
going to go right then. I love spontaneous trips!
What: We spent hours taking pictures. Of ourselves. But jumping pictures and a
minute of one picture every 2 seconds guarantee a lot of fun!
Last Wednesday:
Leeds Golden Acre Park
Who: Michele and Tim
Why: It was supposed to be a nice day for a walk outside.
What: We strolled around the park, took some more jumping pictures (in the
rain) and had lunch in the tearoom where you were not supposed to consume your
own goods. Nice times!
This
weekend: Manchester
Who: Just me.
Why: I have a training weekend for my summer job.
What: Probably lots of role playing games and exciting info about this summer.
In the evening I will stroll around and have some dinner and I might even make
some friends in my hostel if I get bored (although I am supposed to study for
the test I have to take on Sunday).
In two
weeks: Liverpool
Who: Jessica, who’s visiting from the Netherlands.
Why: We thought it would be more fun to meet in Manchester than for Jessica to
come to Leeds again:
What: A Beetles tour, museum, strolling around, going out, food, general good
times.
In three weeks: Edinburgh
Who: Well this is a funny one. It was going to be just me. But then I found out
that Sara’s sister Leila and her friend will be in Edinburgh on the exact same
days as I will be there. And later I found out Michele was planning to travel
to Schotland around that time as well and she will pop by. Therefore I take it
that it is meant to be for me to go to Edinburgh.
Why: Just because I can.
What: Walking around, sightseeing, deep fried mars bars, going out, lots and
lots of fun.
In a month:
Cambridge
Who: I’ll be visiting Amie.
Why: I will get to have a personal tour guide.
What: Punting, food, more food, strolling around and chilling out.
In two months: Oxford!
Who: Me and a bunch of international kiddos.
Why: Time for my summer job.
What: Teaching English, more trips, supervising activities, playing games with
kids, dancing at the disco (for 12 year olds).
Inbetween I’ll
be going home for a week and after I will be doing some nice summer travels. I
still feel like I need to go to London for a bit before I move. More planning
to do!
