First Weekend in Sunderland, UK

This was my first weekend experience in Sunderland, North East England. The very first thing I had to do on this weekend was to search a house to stay, since I was staying in a B&B. I booked a taxi to go to view the house, which the agent had told which was situated in Bourn park road. But the taxi driver could not find the address, so he thought it might be Barnes park road and he dropped me there. But it was totally a mess. Then the agent called me to find where I am, and then I explained him what happened. The agent was a nice guy called Chris, came in search of me and finally took me to the places he wanted to show. I was convinced with one of the apartment which he had shown. Later another agent called me to show their property. The agent was a lady, she was huge in size but a nice women. She showed couple of property, but which I did not liked them. Then the agent had to fix a lock in another area, where there was one more apartment but which was far for my office. Anyways she took me there and we viewed the apartment and then we repaired the lock and finally she dropped me in the city center, it was a nice experience on that day. In the mean time, I had visited one of the letting offices, where she had given me an appointment to view another house. I took a bus and reached the property, where I found the owner was friendly and we came to a deal between us. This is was the story which happened on Saturday.

On Sunday, I had not much of work, so walked to the city center, where the city was very quite in the morning 10.30. From there I took a bus to SEABURN, where I could see the first beach in UK. It was a nice place to see. Roamed there for a while and returned back to city center, where I finished my lunch in a Indian hotel, the food was not of great. After my lunch I spent time in roaming in the shopping complex. Then I bought a Data card (Broadband) which was 100 pounds, but it was worth buying because it had a features’ of 12GB download for 1 year. After which I spent most of the time in roaming in the bus to view the city and finally reached B&B.
