A few Saturdays ago i braved the busy train and ventured down into Manchestaaa! The sun was beaming
down and it seemed like the perfect day for good food, great company and a whole lotta shopping.
.
At 2pm we (My mum, sister and i) met my sister-in-law and her mum at The Slug and Lettuce
and had some munchies and drinkies, if you are interested i had the Grilled Chicken Wrap, which was super
yummy, with a side order of Chips. I've never been to The Slug and Lettuce before but i really enjoyed the
atmophere, the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly too.
After our lunch we had a quick look around the shops including Zara and Urban Outfitters, a lot of oohing
and ahhing commenced but unfortunately i didn't find anything that screamed 'Buy Meeee!' theres always
tomorow, eh . . .
.
At 5pm we made our way to the next destination, the infamous Cloud 23. If you are not aware of what the
heck Cloud 23 is, then i'll happily divulge some information and my experience there.
Cloud 23 is a luxurious bar situated on level 23 (...hence the name ;)) of The Beetham Tower/Hilton Hotel.
At 23 levels high the bar boasts breathtaking views of Manchester with its floor to ceiling length windows.
The venue is so indemand that when we went for a sneaky cocktail at 5pm there was already a queue along
the lavish red carpet to get in! After a little wait we were ushered into the lift and whisked up to level 23.
After my ears had stopped popping we exited the lift and were greeted by a handsome male waiter who
showed us to a table with spectacular views of Manchester, we could even see Coronation St from our
table, embarassingly that got me a bit giddy . . . or was that the cocktail . . .

After nearly fainting at the prices of the bevvies we finally decided what our choice of drink would be, we
all chose a cocktail each - i chose Cottonpolis which was 'An explosion of fresh English fruit flavour.
Spiced Pear and Elderflower play with the citrus tang of Tanqueray Gin. Finished off with a splash of Soda'
It came beautifully presented and tasted equally delicious! After finishing our drinks and taking a few snaps
we paid the bill and left via the lift we arrived in.

If you are in Manchester i would definately recommend visiting Cloud 23, the prices are quite steep BUT
for the view and atmosphere which the venue demonstrates i defintely think it evens the prices out.
Admitedly i did hope to bump into some form of celebrity but i guess i was at the right place at the wrong
time! :(
My experience at Cloud 23 was fabulous and if you have the opportunity to visit then i'd definately
encourage you to go!
So, after a cocktail infused evening we swiftly made our way to Picadilly Station and caught a train back
home and back to reality after a taste of the high life (literally!!) . . .
