On Good Friday Vicky and I met up in Birmingham to do a bit of shopping for Madrid (well that was our excuse). Vicky started by missing her train. We stayed at this new hostel called Hatter's. It was really clean and great value for money.
First up we hit the shops... big time. Six hours and much lighter wallets later we took a taxi back to the hostel cause our bags were so heavy. We started drinking pear cider and cherry wine and met our roommates. There were an Italian couple Valentino and Rosa and a Spanish girl Amaia. We had a great time chatting so we all went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant and headed into "town".
The next day Vicky and I had lunch at a Wetherspoon's, explored the massive Waterstones in the centre of Birmingham and saw "The Boat that Rocked".
By 8pm we were both exhausted and unfortunately I had to endure a train car of teenage boys yelling and throwing things for the 2 hour ride back to Taunton.

Hey, that redhead looks like Vicki! :p
PS What happened to Dan's blog?
No idea and I keep forgetting to ask him. I like he has a blog on his Japanese facebook site, not that either of us would be able to read it.
