After visiting friends in Manchester, I decided to go on 2 day trip to Blackpool. The goal was to refresh, get some ‘me’ time and enjoy the seaside…

This place turned out to be the opposite of what I expected - I was ready to leave in about 2 hours after I arrived. The city is full of people - mostly locals - who spend their day gambling, drinking heavily and eating fish & chips. Not that it’s a bad way to have a vacation, it’s certainly not what I expected.

Bright side - I was ready to go back to St Andrews, the place I so tried to escape in the first place. This trips definitely made me appreciate St Andrews more.. Not a bad trip at all?
