🇬🇧 Nottingham City Day Trip (Urban Edition)

✨ A deer-free but delightful adventure! 🕚 11:30 AM 🚂 Arrived in Nottingham Perfect late-morning start! ☀️ 🛍️ Hopkinson Vintage (NG2 3AJ) "The hyped-up antique store right by the station!" Massive but underwhelming pickings 🧐 Pro tip: Better for browsing than buying 🍜 12:00 PM 🥢 Lunch @ Paste Thai (NG1 1NN) Shared braised pork rice & pad see ew - yum! 😋 Must-try: Matcha milk tea & coconut water 🥥 (Note: Opens at noon sharp!) 🎁 1:30 PM 🛒 The Tokenhouse (NG1 2JG) Jellycat paradise 🐇 + cute souvenirs Hit the jackpot: Both scored Vivienne Westwood necklaces! 💎 PS: Downtown shopping is dangerously tempting... 🏰 3:00 PM ⛔ Nottingham Castle Oops! Arrived post-closing (10AM-5PM) 😅 "Next time for those city views!" 🍽️ 6:00 PM 🇻🇳 Dinner @ Coco Tang (NG1 2GJ) Verdict: Pho > spring rolls 🍜 Skip the overly sweet matcha drink 🚫 Strawberry cake = sweet redemption 🍓 🦌 Optional Detour 🌳 Wollaton Hall (NG8 2AE) "Had we woken earlier... deer selfies awaited!" 🦌 💡 Pro Tips: Castle first, shopping later! Paste Thai’s portions = sharing-friendly Westwood hunting? Tokenhouse is your spot! #NottinghamCityGuide #UKDayTrip #ShopaholicDiaries
