I travel to Manchester, UK on the 26th Jan 2015 with a dream to travel as well as to study ACCA professional body for 2 years. It was a big leap for me but I am so glad that I finally made it here and today is exactly one month! YAY
Blackpool is the first town I visited when I am still new in Manchester. Still not getting used to their cold winter days yet but that is not my excuse not going to travel!
I went with my flatmate and her 2 friends, took a 2 hour bus from Manchester to Blackpool for, a very beautiful seaside town! Our plan is to stay for 2 nights and go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, an amusement park on Valentine's day which happens to be on the weekend!
Bus delayed for few hours due to traffic which led to us reaching in Blackpool at night. However, we still are able to catch the Blackpool Tower Circus which is in this building!
Still managed to take a photo before the circus it starts!

This is my first time ever watching a circus and I was so excited! The show was great, there were mixture of singing, performance and dancing. A lot of dangerous movements going on but they handle them very well which impressed all audience. Enjoyed it!!
The show lasted about an hour and we decided to head back hotel to rest after eating fish & chips for supper .
Next day, the real deal begins! Yes, it is winter and I'm going to ride roller coaster, crazy I know. It's FREEZING, but its FUN!
This Valentine, I am celebrating by going to amusement park which I always wanted to experience. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is probably the 2nd best after Alton Towers (They didn't open during winter times). Their entry fee is £30 but we got it half price on offer during weekends!
We went early there and surprisingly, there's a lot of people going there too even during these times.

That was the tallest roller coaster I have sat on!! Yes, I can't believe I achieve it, I literally can see the whole Blackpool while sitting on it which feels so GOOD! At some point, it felt like I was flying and I just want to scream FREEDOM! Haha..
The blue ride above is a 360 degree turn ride which makes me so dizzy and sick. Not a very good experience on this ride though.

This is a pretty easy ride where you sit on the 'plane' will keep going round and higher each time. It's still nice to see the view of Blackpool but I got dizzy on this ride too.
I had the best donut I've ever ate! They literally fry the donut and dusted with sugar on the spot for you. It was hot, fresh and so soft! I was gutted I didn't take a picture of it as we were rushing for the next ride already. Missed it so much now, I wish they have it in Manchester somewhere.
I never tried Free Fall before in my life and hence the nervous face of mine in the picture. While queuing for the ride, I have seen the people before me took the ride and it was so scary. However, it only lasted about 10 seconds and that was the scariest 10 seconds for me! Thinking back, I am so glad that I did it! :)
This ride is awesome, too bad I can't take pictures while we were inside but basically everyone will get wet. Everyone purchased their disposable rain jacket and go on the boat to the river caves. There is a lot of water splashing everywhere and at some point, it will be pitch black in the cave before it slides down and everyone gets splashed.
I didn't let my guard down, keep holding on my rain jacket but still my hair is all soaked. Luckily there is a heater outside the river cave where we can pay a pound to dry ourself before we move on to next ride.
Can't resist not to take photo with the bunny from Alice in Wonderland. It's Alice, it's my name!!
We started out ride at 11am and finally sat down to eat at 4pm. We were all tired and hungry so we went to a restaurant for a buffet. Took a lot of pizza and it's only just the first round!
I was feeling so much better after the buffet as I run a lot during the day trying to catch up with my group after each ride. They were obviously going for the ride and not taking any pictures for memories.
Friend's attempt to win a Minion Plushie and finally got it after trying for a few times.
Took a group photo before we leave the amusement park!
The last picture before calling it a day! So much rides I sat and I can't believe I did it all. I really like the Blackpool Tower, wish it was Paris Eiffel tower! Haha but this is a mini version compare to the Eiffel Tower.
Our last day in Blackpool, a photo before we check out our room. Thank god, the end of my sleepless night! I never sleep well anywhere other than my own home.
The weather during that day is really nice, we went to stroll around Blackpool while taking pictures. The seaside view is beautiful, isn't it? There were a lot of seagulls and people bringing out their dogs for a walk. It was such a nice and sunny day!
Lastly, a clear shot of the Blackpool Tower! It actually look more beautiful when the lights are on during the night. However, I missed my chance to take a photo of it.
Miss Blackpool already, such a peaceful and lovely town to visit. Blackpool have given me a lot first-time experience there and hope to visit there again!!
Thanks for reading! xx
