trip to lincoln

In Friday night I was so bored I was thinking about anything can amuse me until I ended up with decision


which is travelling to anywhere in The Uk in order to use that time I have here and to discover some interesting places I’ve heard about .


I told my friend X to search about the nearest beach to Nottingham .indeed, she did then she found a city called Lincoln and has its own beach there .
 
I called another friend Y to prepare herself and join us to that beach. We took with us three bags included swimming suites .we woke up that morning with full of excitement. “Finally we will see the beach “I said whispering to my self. We caught up the first train was going there. On that we ,chatted ,ate and did our homework .once we arrived there to Lincoln I hurried up trying to look where the beach is ,I did not see any water. I started asking people the place I have dreamed about since i came to the uk .I was shocked when I heard an answer “no darling there is no beach here , it is one hour far from Lincoln by bus “ a woman answered me .
”There is a small port you can go there and watch the old ships “she was trying to make me feel better. We lift her and went hanging around the city .we were blaming X because she was not sure that Lincoln does not have beach
 
 .while we were fighting and blaming each other, we arrived at a big green field .it is a huge place without gate we did not know where to go and how to get out of here .Y tried to calmed me and X cause we were so scared .
 
it might be a private property and we might be accused of stealing. Suddenly,
 when a fence appeared from a distance, we all run to it, and finally jumped on .after that we started a new kind of suffering which was the sunny weather especially in that day we were in and tiredness because of that distance we walked .there was no buses or taxies on the high way .

we tried to hitchhiked but nobody stopped .finally an old man stopped and gave us a lift to the city centre .we were so hungry so that we went to an Italian restaurant and had some pizza and pasta .after we had coffee as well we were so curious about discovering the city what it is famous for .

we walked until we faced a huge gate for old cathedral called Lincoln Cathedral .I was astonished it was the first time to me to enter a place similar to it.

I was impressed by the quietness it had .

I felt little bit scared because of died people’s bodies were buried there .I started to take pics for every simple details .inside ,I felt breathless I don’t know why ,I think because of how dark and quite the cathedral was.i have read that this cathedral is a place where the film ,The Da Vinci Code for the writer Dan  Brown ,were located in .
 Without doubt once we got out we went SHOPPING the most important thing to do per trip .
P.S
I had so much fun there I was very glad to experience such a beautiful trip with more beautiful friends .
