Christmas present: Trip to Manchester

Hello again!

Today I'm writing to you from Manchester, UK! Sadly, today is my last day here, as I only came for 3 days... Just a quick getaway for a long weekend. My trip was a lovely Xmas present and something I really didn't expect at all!

Let me explain a bit better: I live in Spain, but my mum is English (from Manchester) and my dad is Spanish. I have always loved everything about England and considered it my hometown, so when I opened my Xmas card that had a Ryanair ticket to Manchester in it I was over the moon with tears of happiness in my eyes. I was so happy because I hadn't visited Manchester or my family from there in 2-3 years... I missed it so much! We had to squeeze in as many things as possible in these three short days.

The first day we went to the centre of Manchester, had a "bacon butty" for breakfast and started our day with a little shopping. Then we had a lovely lunch in an italian restaurant with family from the UK, and then carried on with our shopping! When we got back to my aunties house (where we are staying for the weekend) we celebrated my uncles birthday with a lovely dinner: indian takeaway! We had such a nice time chatting and catching up, and even playing a few funny games.

The second day we spent in the Trafford Centre, which is a MASSIVE shopping centre. I just can't come to Manchester and not go there. It's become a tradition of ours. We spent the whole day there, from shop to shop. I just love English shops as we don't have most of them in Spain, so I tried to do my summer clothes shopping while I was here.

Today is the third day and the day I'm going back home. I have to get my flight in a few hours, but we can hopefully stop by a small village on the way to the airport before we go back. Next time I post it will be from my actual house in Spain. Untill then!
