My Easter break

The title looks like a topic for an essay in school but this break indeed was very special. Memories of the last two weeks will remain with me for all my life. I did everything that I never thought I will. This included a lot of unexpected travelling, friends, conversations, including a visit to a CASINO. I dint play due to lack of courage and my lady friend won a decent 100 pounds after loosing few hundreds of pounds.

15.03.08

First visit was a short yet sweet visit to Birmingham. This came as a bit of surprise to me when a friend called to find out if I would like to join her and her friends. I had nothing to do so I thought why refuse fun. We did not go to any popular place there but to a shopping mall. Since we were three girls in a group of four it was good fun spending money in clothes and Indian snacks. This was followed by my first Casino visit.
16.03.08
Next visit was to Oxford. This place is known for its world class universities. This trip was also with the Birmingham group and we were only keen on finding another casino in the city instead of its beautiful British architecture. And thankfully we dint get one there which helped me return home in time.


19.03.08

This was my usual trip to Bristol to meet friends.
22.03.08
Then came a long weekend and all enthusiastic friends wanted to do something. We planned and planned and planned and finally planned not to do anything at all because of bad weather forecast, travelling, distance etc. etc. This day also happened to be Holi and so we planned to eat Indian delicacies at home. But an early morning call from a friend changed the entire plan upside down and we did get out of quilts on a cold sunny cloudy windy rainy day. I will never regret this decision as I got to visit Stonehenge and Bournemouth on the same day. Weather played an important role in all the fun. It was damn windy in Stonehenge. If I was few kilos lighter in weight I could actually fly on that day. Then faced hail storm on our way to Bournemouth. It was sunny again when we reached Bournemouth could actually see the reflections of clouds in the sea and it snowed in the evening.

27.03.08- 28.03.08
This was a fantastic trip and was as unexpected as others were. Went to the land of tennis Wimbledon via London city. Spent few very beautiful moments on Thames. Next day was wet and windy and it also was the day to see Wimbledon courts. Somehow we managed to reach the courts only to find out that the centre court was being renovated. Could not see the courts but still I can proudly say that I have been to Wimbledon.



Now at the end of my vacation I feel like a school child who left all the work during the break for the end. I had my share of fun, fights, games, trips and food. But the end has to come so its time to get back to individual reports and group presentations.
