A hangover isn't the best way to start the day. The hot night and the small amount of wine last night are clearly to blame.
To celebrate our 5 years since we met anniversary, I decided that Chris and I should spend the weekend in one of our favourite cities, Manchester. The last time we stayed in a hotel, that had a good spa and gym, called the Macdonald. There is an ulterior motive...
We finally left the London via the recycling centre in Leyton. We had a few wine bottles, that needed to be thrown out. The drive wasn't too bad, we made it in just over 4 hours. With a 30 minute stop at the services.
Once we made it to the hotel, I headed straight to the gym. I still had to get my Nike+ working! I liked having a mini mission. It keeps me motivated. The treadmill was quite impressive, it had a touch screen with integrated TV. The iPod Touch was a better choice, as it's bigger screen is easier to use, while you're running. The notes app, is also good to make a note of the treadmills stats.
We still had time to wonder the city before the England V USA game started. We headed to out favourite restaurant, Red Chilli in Chinatown, they do massive portions and they do an amazing chili filled bean curd dish (top i bowl) I didn't think the three chili icons meant that it was that hot! It blows your head off.
We waddled back to the hotel to watch the rest of the game in the bar. The Weatherspoons and bars around Piccadilly were full and neither one of us wanted to join the scary drunks. We ordered our drinks and sat next to a group of people, once we sat down we realised they were American! We didn't talk they were too engrossed in the soccer.
