Day 25

I'll start with last night, Harry and I both agreed that we would go out yesterday as we hadn't had a proper night out since we arrived. Both of us like a good night out but can live without going out at every opportunity. When we went out on Wednesday for an Indian we saw a lively bar full of people our age so said we'd give it a go. We walked into the bar and ordered some drinks looking around it was very dark and the atmosphere wasn't great, we realised that it was the bar upstairs that we had previously seen and not this 1. We finished our drink and went upstairs, now in the right place we went to get a drink from the bar to find it was table service only, we managed to find someone who worked there to take our order but after about 15 minutes still no drink so we decided to give it a miss and go onto somewhere else. We'd seen a bar the other day that looked like a student bar, we went in managed to get a drink but again the place didn't feel right, overcrowded and no atmosphere. We have written last night off as a failed attempt and I think Harry might take some convincing to give it a go again.

Today we were either going to go to the beach or the aquarium, both came with good recommendations. After waking up late again and the buses running around every hour on a Sunday we decided to go to the aquarium and then stop off at the pub to watch the Arsenal game and get some food. We walked down but before we went into the aquarium we fancied a drink so went to a place called La Playa, we both had a milkshake and they were huge and tasted great. We then made the short walk to the aquarium, lots of weird looking fish that would be found not far from these shores. We then found the penguins and the sharks. It's not the biggest aquarium but it was really nice and had a lot to look at. 

We then went to the Ferrymen which is a pub just around the corner. It's where we watched the Arsenal v Spurs game, Harry looking to redeem himself ordered ribs again, I think they were even bigger than the last lot. Harry rose to the challenge and managed to eat all of the ribs (to be honest he did leave some meet on the bone) so well done. We finally managed to get them to put the football on just after half time, already 2-0 up and coasting around not much of a 2nd half but oh well.

Back home we went for a quiet night, hopefully an early night tonight, too many late nights, my body clock is all over the place.
