On the way to Manchester

So here I am, sitting in the train on the way to Manchester. It’s really quite a shame my time in Hollingbourne was so short, I met a load of new friends there and was great to stay in one place for long enough to be able to get my bearings and be able to find my way around with ease.
I am seriously considering heading down there and finding a place to live when I have finished my travels, either in Hollingbourne, Bearsted or in Maidstone. They’re beautiful towns, and for the most part, the people are quite nice. I don’t mind living that far out of town, thanks to the overground railway system, travelling from down there to anywhere in the U.K. is very easy.

I’m also proud of myself, I can say that I have finally mastered the London underground. Took a little bit of time, and after a couple of mistakes, I can work my way around it pretty well.
One of these errors was when I reached my station to change to another line, I jumped off my train, walked to what I thought was the next train I needed to catch. Jumped on it and turned out to be the exact same one that I’d just jumped off.
Lucky enough to go and see the Inbetweeners movie one the day it was released in the U.K., it was fantastic, lived up to every expectation. Shame that I don’t think that it comes out back home until mid October.
As a send off, Shaun, myself and a few others all went to an absolute ripper of a foam party at one of the night clubs in Maidstone, this time, rather than the foam being around my ankles, the cannon pumped pretty much all night and the entire dance floor were literally up to their eyeballs in foam. Safe to say, I no longer have shoes, no longer have the shirt I was wearing, broke my watch and my phone is totally buggered after it spent the night in the foam pit. Worth it.
This morning, woke up, said my goodbyes to Shaun, thanked him for having me stay with him for the past three weeks, thanked the club president for having me stay in the club rooms at the Hollingbourne Cricket Club, and set off once again.
