hotel but in between we'll try and
explore manchester a little bit
[Music]
okay we have made it out of the hotel
and we made it straight did i did sorry
you're filming then sorry and straight
into a very busy manchester this is like
weird for us because when we usually
walk around our little hometown yeah
basically we're not used to this many
people or this amount of people as we
just walk around so it's
so good we always say like get out of
your postcode that was that phrase get
out of your postcode go and see
something if you can go and see
something new go and see something
refreshing koda's first time in a city
actually well in a big city anyway
i haven't been to london with him yet
now he's just cruising around the
streets of manchester i don't think he
even realizes his eyes open a minute ago
did he
oh okay so we're basically looking for
this food place that does grilled cheese
sandwiches we had very good things
online and i haven't i can't remember
the last time i had a grilled cheese
sandwich
so looking forward to that if not
there's a plan b option we're all within
walking distance from our hotel
also if i see a coffee shop along the
way which i know there are lots of in
manchester then i'll pick up a little
coffee
as well but after food because lucy is
especially hungry she's given strict
instructions food first
coffee after equally hungry oh i am we
ate angry we ate like at five in the
morning and then like seven in the
morning in the car and it's now like
four pm four pm we don't we're not we're
out of the habit we're out for the swing
of the traveling life so we've noticed
that there is a lot of street art
in manchester and even the restaurant
this is the place we're going has street
art here but it's actually over the road
over in there and there's actually a
wedding going on here or at least some
wedding photos
[Music]

okay so we have the lunch it's a few
hours after the lunch isn't it yeah um
we haven't napped as you can probably
see from the state
unless and the state of that behind me
um yeah life is life is different we uh
yeah we got up at
3am this morning to get here to try and
beat a little bit of traffic um to come
down
and hit the road while you guys saw

needed some sleep yeah i feel better
yeah i wanted to 100 but i feel better
yeah but this room is so nice um we're
coming into almost we're going to see
sunset here yeah although we do have
dinner reservation now so it's kind of
gone from that amazing lunch which was
so good wasn't it really i wanted to put
this little clip in just so it doesn't
look like we went for lunch and then
went straight to dinner it's been
several hours it has yeah so we're going
to head downstairs for dinner now at the
hotel restaurant so i believe it is time
for us
to open
this
because whoa it's heavy because this is
part of ello
this is part of the date night package
that the hotel laid on for us so
a little pre-dinner glass of
i think this is prosecco
yeah prosecco prosecco
that looks nice look at that
yum so hopefully um i can just
pop this off so we've arrived had a
massage we're in the panoramic suite
we've got dinner
and a bottle of prosecco
on ice
so congrats to our first little
vacation our first little traveling trip
with coda we did it yay
well we're here
yeah we're on day one um so i'll just go
for it kind of just pop this open yeah
don't face it towards us or the windows
i'll just pop it over there hopefully it
won't be
i'm not gonna shake it like do a
champagne spray like formula one but no
already but don't do that
you don't do that indoors why not we're
celebrating right
okay sometimes the glasses go really
fizzy
nice
that that actually i meant to hold the
end of it that that actually alarmed
that alarmed me no damage was caused
okay
there we go that that was way more poppy
than i thought it would be but you know
you're meant to just hold the end
indoors you're not meant to literally
flick it with your thumb i didn't flick
it i just gently
caressed it out of its casing you're
meant to hold on to it with the other
hand i didn't know i'd do that
anyway
cheers coda
cheers mommy
cheers to date night cheers the food has
arrived we've both gone for
ribeye steak with fries
