But we weren't too fussed - it happens. Mine was also delayed 1.5 hours. But first, my train was cancelled at the last minute(fuck that railway network now, it honestly just needs abolishing. It's terrible), I had to get another train, which was also delayed and then we were on it 20 mins extra. I get to the airport, stuck in customs forever as they were way under staffed and then the flight was delayed and we were sat in a little room all jam packed in. Awful day. I've got to say, I'm fucking glad to have gotten here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancelled on the way back as well, so I've had to go to Manchester Picadilly, then from there to Wigan and now to my destination. Worst fucking rail network in the world. They don't even give you refunds either so I've paid double bubble going there and coming back. They've literally ripped me off 30 quid. The Easyjet flight was 20 minutes early, you can't grumble with them in general. But fuck those trains, it's problem after problem after problem and the people who work for the likes of transpennine and northern rail are often massive clowns with shit attitudes as well. What gives those utter cretins the right to go on strike all the time and hold the country to ransome?

But generally speaking, I'd say yeah - the weather is pleasant 90% of the time. Not the most stuff in the world to do though, but if you just like good weather, beaches, hikes and shit like that... it's a good place to visit. I think the biggest downside is I don't think it's the greatest place to go to if you're not renting a car - because it wasn't really designed to a city that's easy to get around. But they're working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we drove up the west coast of the lower peninsula so we could stop at Ludington, Sleeping Bear, and Traverse City. Crossed over the Mackinac bridge.
