TRAVEL TIME. Today i am heading for Nottingham by bus 3 hours & 25 mins from London. I am on my way to Visit Mum's Relatives in Berwick-Upon Tweed. The bus left @ 8:30am with only 5 people on it so had a very quite and relaxing trip. After 1 hour of getting out of the city we hit the country side and yep all beautiful lush green grass and crops for miles. Arrived in Nottingham @ 12pm, got a city map and went in search of the hostel. The first two things that happened was an old drunk man walked & fell over 3 meters in front of me and little bit further down the road a worried man wearing a suit asked me where the police station was. I thought Yep i picked a great town to visit & stay the night didn't i. After walking lots and finding the very nice hostel with a very lovely lady i dumped my bag and went exploring. The town was about the same size as Grafton maybe a little bit bigger. Nothing bad happened for the rest of the stay. They had a Primark there, everywhere i go i find one but i was so proud of myself because i walked in and didn't buy anything, probably because i have brought everything they had to offer already in but that is beside the point.

I found a castle but for some reason couldn't get inside because it was closed for the day. I watched a film crew film an advertisement for a new Music and went on the hunt for the Cinemas. I watched Sex in the City (first movie i watched by myself) and then headed back to the hostel. In the lounge room there were a few people so chilled out there for a while but the people i was talking to kept talking in their own German Langue, they were a bit rude so headed for bed. I was in a 6 Female Dorm with 4 of us but no-one else officially moved in until 12:30 during the night so didn't get to meet them and i left early in the morning. The hostel was very modern and clean, very happy with the place and location was great too.
