Kathryn & Shannon's Road Trip: Day Two

If you haven't already read day one then check it out!

So day two began. I know you're all dying to find out about 'the lost key saga', but no worries I rang the letting agency for Kathy & saved the day. But not literally as I had no damn shoes. Which only became apparent to me as I woke up, ready to face Fat Laura. Now you're all probably wondering who the heck Fat Laura is, let's just say she's an unpleasant lady with a very misleading phone voice. She answers the phone & you think she's a babe, until you turn up to the letting agency & find out she wants to charge you £36 for making her walk 4 minutes. And this is how she gained the name Fat Laura.

However fortunately for me & Kathryn that day, Fat Laura wasn't the only individual present in the office. After Kathryn took a wrong turn and mistook a building to be her letting agent she was soon directed into the hands of Lianne, her actual letting agent, who saved the day and gave Kathryn her rightful key. With no charge may I add, now that's a definition of a babe. So Kathryn returned to her humble abode & our day began. We cleaned ourselves up & began our travels up North, or should I say to the Midlands, just for you Ruby.

So the journey began with me & Kathryn looking our finest, as you can see below. I like to think this is my best angle. 

Enjoy my many chins.

And below is how two people should look in a photo together.

                           

So we began our journey up north to Nottingham to be reunited with our favourite couple, literally the cutest, most soppiest, loveliest two human beings ever. Me & Kathy couldn't hide our excitement, especially K-dizzle, to be reunited with her A-dawg. However we arrived at their house a little while before they were due home, which was expected. Although when Alex sent me this message, we were both a little confused as to how we were going to enter the house.

But once we got there the penny dropped. The key was under a tin of *tuna. However Alex now everyone knows you're secret, maybe you should try something a little more mainstream next time, maybe under a plant pot. Just kidding. Love ya. Once me & Kathryn discovered the key we let ourselves in & made ourselves at home. It was so weird to be so far from home, yet in our friend's home. But nevertheless we were so happy to be there. Half an hour passed, and Sharn returned home to us sitting on her bed reading her & Alex's scrap book, which may I add, makes my heart melt! Especially the page full of Alex's face. What a beauty. P.S Khaled if you're reading this, I really really like cute, soppy scrapbooks. 

The beauty herself. 

So once Al had returned home as well, we then had the first world problem of where the heck do we decide to eat. So after deciding the fate of our stomachs would be given to a computer wheel, the decision was made. CHIQUITOS was the place to be. And oh my it was. This is where my incredible food blog starts and mouth watering pictures begin.. other then the one above of Alex.

The cutest couple.

Ma gal.

Although I look slightly manly here, I'm with ma gal so I can cut off my body & ignore that.

Waiting for this day was hard. But I did it. And it was well worth the wait. And I'm so so so so glad that Chiquito's has made it's way to Exeter. Because my love for Mexican food is forever growing, thank you Peta for introducing me to Quesadillas. Literally the nicest food ever. So of course I ordered a starter of spicy chicken quesadillas.

This picture isn't doing these quesadillas justice, but damn they were good.

Meanwhile the girls were enjoying a lovely mocktail cocktail known as the Appleberry, I kinda regretted not ordering one when I saw the waitress bringing them to the table, but it was okay, my Fanta quenched my first.

A mix of cold pressed cloudy apple juice, raspberry puree and fresh lime juice; shake together and served long over crushed ice. That was almost as if I copied and pasted it from the menu. YOLO.

And for my main I decided to try something new; spicy chicken tacos with corn on the cob and a cute little side salad to finish it off. But we all know that side salad is all for aesthetic purposes and in reality I hardly touched the salad but destroyed the tacos like a boss. So after a good catch up & some great food, Sharn & Alex decided to introduce us to something I like to call ice-cream heaven. A regular occurrence for Sharn & Alex or should I say Shlex. Or Alarn. As in the Scottish name Alan. Can't take all the credit for that one though can I Kathryn? ANYWAY.. back to more important things, like food. Below is my image of heaven.

Cookie dough ice-cream + phish food + caramel sauce + milk chocolate peace pieces + white chocolate polar bears = HEAVEN 

After destroying my Ben & Jerry's sundae we made our way back to Shlex's gav. Where we all got super cosy & watched "The L Word", an interesting series to say the least but not something that's quite hooked me as yet. So me & Kathy got cushty on the sofa bed & Shlex got cosy on the sofa. And once the clock hit 11, being the old ladies that we are, we decided to call it a night. So day two had come to an end. Although before me & Kathy finally got our shut eye, we then had to pretend to be asleep so the awkward moment of Shlex's flat mate Matty wouldn't occur as he came home that night. However the hilarious thing was, he actually got stuck between the sofa bed & the other sofa as he tried to quietly creep through the frontroom. At this point, I thought he had stopped & was watching me sleep. Good old paranoia. Although this never actually was the case, the poor boy just couldn't get through.

So if you've made it this far, thank you & I hope I haven't bored you, but I truly am enjoying reliving my week, so I hope you're enjoying reliving it with me. 

Muchos love,

Shannon
