Saturday: Gloucester and Clubbing...errrm....

On Saturday, Viki and I went to Gloucester to see the Cathedral which is very beautiful, stunning and even cosy in a way. The cold in the old building didn't exactly appeal to us, and there was a very strange exhibition in the Cathedral by some Swedish church in which bullying and Jesus' life were strangely thrown together, but apart from that, it was brilliant.

Viki eyeing the strange exhibition which used very subtle metaphors.
Parts of the Cathedral from the outside.

Gloucester Cathedral lent its cloisters to the Harry Potter film team and, Viki and me being big fans, we not only had to see the locations, but also to reenact certain scenes from the film.

Expelliarmus!


Here lies some important chap whose name I've forgotten. He was a son of William the Conquerer's who died imprisoned by his brother. The reason for taking this picture wasn't his historic value, but the way he lies there which looks incredibly uncomfortable.


Later, we went to see the historic docks where we found the reason for the number of seagulls living here (water, who would've thought) and the Black Pearl!



In the evening, Thomas finally acted on his promise to cook for us, so we had homemade burgers and chips. Later, Thomas' flatmate, Angel, and a friend of his, an Italian bloke named Marco, joined us. Marco ticked all the boxes that an Italian needs to tick to fulfill all the clichés. He basically used his hands to talk, wasn't exactly subtle in his hitting on Sandra, commented on all the beautiful girls on the telly, etc. I loved his accent, and in general he seems to be an okay guy.
Originally, we wanted to go out clubbing afterwards, but Viki wasn't feeling so hot because she was still struggling with a cold, so we left after a nice evening at around 1am.
