Our Travel Blog: Old Trafford Stadium Tour!

Sorry again for the lack of updates! nothing to do with our hectic tourist schedule, its all just cus we couldnt really be bothered and to be honest, we don't really have that much time to blog during our trip!

I have decided to set the date for the blog as the date on the day when we did the things so its not too confusing... :P

We went to Manchester for a day trip on monday 29th July... Steph being a big fan of Manchester United... this trip to manchester was definitely unavoidable. Despite the sunny and hot weather during the first week of our trip... it was pouring down with rain on monday... luckily we were indoor most of the time and it stopped raining pretty much everytime we were outdoor! feel quite blessed. <3

I have been to Manchester with my dear friend Jess once before when she studied in Liverpool but that was a totally different experience. That trip was pretty much full of shopping at the Trafford Centre :) i miss those good times so much!

We had to take a tram/ streetcar to the stadium and the stadium was a bit of a walk from the old trafford station... but we left home a bit late so we were already quite tight time. nevermind.

to be honest, i have never really been a big fan of football... of course i watched pretty much all of the SA World Cup on tv just cus i had nothing better to do and i watched the Portland Timbers played before... i have always thought that football was for hooligans but since i met steph, i have come to realise its more than just people running after a ball across a massive lawn... there's actually a lot of tactics and considerations that go into it. of course, i started paying more and more attention to Man United because of Chicharito... he is just too cute... !!!!!!!!

Steph looked sooo happy when we were walking towards the stadium.. just like a little kid!!! hahaha i guess he would have been real disappointed if we were able to do this tour... talking about that, we almost couldn't book the tour... just cus we were too lazy and sloppy and it was almost fully booked!

ooops

we visited different parts of the stadium... it must be so amazing to be able to stand there on the pitch and have the crowd cheering for you! just a completely different experience! steph was kind of being my tour guide too by telling me the various things about the team... blah blah blah...

i guess i should leave him to provide more details since he is the real manchester united fan and i am just a +1.
