On the 2nd day, we woke up quite late. We were very tired last night especially after the rain. I was having slight fever, covering myself with blanket from head to toe but i survived in the end. In order to respect my 2 travel-mates, i shall not tell you all how both of them spent 1 hour preparing. =_= Anyway, we had a very nice breakfast courtesy of the hotel.

Once done, we headed off for Old Trafford stadium!

The Old Trafford tram station was quite deserted since it was early in the morning……and there was no football match. There’s one Old Trafford stadium right after the tram station – that’s the cricket stadium. Hahaha.

For Manchester United Football Stadium, you need to walk straight on……just go straightttttttttttttttt and you’ll reach the stadium. Pretty straightforward. I had to ask a passerby for direction….but didn’t notice there was a big sign right in front of me. Hahaha.

Anyway, the stadium tour was very nice. We went to the museum, or Theatre of Dream, showcasing the trophies, the jerseys and the history of the club. I saw a lot of newspaper cuttings about the Munich incident. It was a very sad incident. So many talented footballers died. There was this eternal flame burning in the Munich Tunnel (South Stand) to commemorate (not sure if it’s the right word) the innocent lives lost in this tragic incident.

The stadium tour guide explained to us the different history of the stadium and how it was extended and why it cannot be extended anymore. Quite a lot of stuff. Definitely worth a visit. Oh, we also went to the players’ changing room, pretty near to the tunnel where the players run out to meet the fans. The guide turned on the sound effect and told us to march towards the field (we cannot touch the field though). It was like a matchday…very very nice atmosphere. I really hope i can get to watch a match there in the future.

After that, we went to Trafford Centre – the largest shopping complex I’ve ever seen in UK. Very very big and very nicely designed. But not something I really fancy. I’m not a shopping addict anyway.

That’s all for my 2nd day. hahahaha. Nothing much eh? But at least, I’ve fulfilled one of my childhood dreams – to visit Old Trafford football stadium. It was worth it.

And now, I need to get some rest before my flu gets worse. Having a lot of phlegms. Gosh. I will try to start drawing again tomorrow and perhaps writing my story.
