Birmingham Adventure.

I left for birmingham, full of aspiration and wonder, thinking about the place I see so often on webcam, Lena's dorm room.

After a rushed sunday roast dinner with the parents, I left Warham and drove home, my mother met me there and drove both me and Lena to the bus in waiting at Fakenham.
The weather was cold, I even wore a coat.
Pretty much the whole bus journey I was blessed with sleep, so for me the journey seemed like only 15 minutes long, when in fact it was more like a hour and a half, that journey is soul destroying.

Then from there, we gained a party member in the form of an old lady wanting to also go to the train station in Norwich! so I said she could tag along, on the way to the train station I made notice of the various new strip clubs much to the ladies amusement, funny thing was I was mostly serous about liking to visit them hahaha!

At the train station we had a chance to sit down, I broke the chain off my travel good luck charm, and realized it was an omen, there were police everywhere in the station and dogs securing off an area.

As we left for our train we got stopped in a large crowd trying to get to the platform, the police would not let us past, then came the reason, ipswich football fans flooded the platform we needed, and the opposite platform was the native team of Norwich city, there was things being thrown and in between both rivals were a small group of passengers, including me and Lena.
Then the police had to get out their truncheons and hold back the Norwich fans who were starting to become out of control, I stood and mealy observed while Lena got increasingly frustrated and panicky.

After the train for the ipswich supporters left, we boarded a train to Manchester and got off at peterborough and waited for about 30 mins for a train to colshill park where on arrival we got a bus to Birmingham new street.

TODAY:
Woke up at 6am, but left the bed at 1pm as there was little else to do, then this evening decided to get acclimatized and go exploring in birmingham center.

Needless to say, I Got epic lost and ended up with 2 potatoes, some weird mineral water, and a present for Lena, mixed melon salad.
