The treat of a day trip...

Since I was a little girl, I have loved going on day trips, so I was delighted to go this week on a very special trip with two friends, one that I met through togetherfriends, and the other who I had met at the school gate many years ago.  We went to Liverpool to see the Terracotta Army exhibition, and I have to say, I really recommend it.  I have always wanted to travel to China to see this amazing sight, something that I am unlikely to do for quite a while ( if ever!), so this trip had to be the next best thing.

It was a brill day from beginning to end - early morning train with stop for coffee, a spot of shopping and a truly delicious lunch at Maray  on Bold St in Liverpool.  My friend Louise is a true scouser, so she loved showing us her old teenage haunts in the city. The whole day was great, but the icing on the cake had to be the Terracotta Army exhibition at World Museum where we saw amazingly detailed figures from over 2000 years ago and the story around the diverse Chinese dynasties of the time.

Day trips with friends are extra special.  It is a time to treat yourself with coffee, meals out, some shopping and an exhibition or two, and of course a lovely glass of prosecco to finish off the day.  We all work so hard, it is important to treat yourself from time to time along the way.  So why not text your friends and arrange your own day trip, or even a couple of nights away?  And if you would like to find some new friends to enjoy day trips with, why not join togetherfriends!
