Nottingham, England UK
We returned to the UK and back to England and it honestly,
kind of, in a way felt a little like returning home. Everything just seemed so familiar, even
though it hadn’t been home for very long before we left.
Anyways, it was back to civilization again. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love the
country, but it does make it a little difficult on tour to get around and even
get food without a car and being a 40-minute train ride away from downtown and
a 25-minute walk to the nearest grocery store.
After last week, having a choice of places to eat and multiple grocery
stores that were within a 10-minute walk was almost like heaven again.
It made everything so much easier, from just finding food,
to entertainment, to even working out.
And I must say, the gym this week by far tops my list of places to
workout. Not only was it clean and
spacious, but the staff were exceptionally friendly and it was all in what
looked like either an old factory building or train station building. So, when
the sun was out, the skylights at Virgin Active Health Club gave way to the
rays and filled the area with light. It definitely
added a nice touch, just like the canals that surrounded the city.
From lit arch ways under bridges to a cathedral turned into
a restaurant, we were out to find it!
After all, it was time for a Girls’ Night since the guys were having
their night too.
Keeping it classy, we dined in Pitcher and Piano; what used
to be a cathedral and were then even able to catch Beyoncé perform, or well
that was the illusion that was displayed.
However, it really wasn’t a live performance, instead it was just the
night that ONLY her music was played. Anyhow, it was still a good time and made for
a great night; the girls were out on the town!
And when we weren’t out in the nightlife or shopping, as per
the usual, we were taking in all the history that we could. From standing beside the Robin Hood Statue,
to touring the grounds of the Nottingham Castle we were all about finding the
best views of the city. Even if that did
mean ending up underground in the caves that used to serve as air shelters
amongst other purposes.
Finally, we found our way out though and back to civilization
and just in time too! We were off to the
land of the kilts and bagpipes just in time for Thanksgiving!
