Being part of history

 After a late night (or should that be early morning) when we stumbled through the hotel doors at 2am we had a much needed lie in.

After I got up I put Man Utd v Liverpool on the tv and watched a bit of the first half.

Then I had to go down to reception and enquire about room availability for tonight. We weee scheduled to be checking out of the hotel today and moving to another one down the road, the one that let us down a few days earlier. However as we liked it here we decided to stay on for the additional 3 nights we would be in Philadelphia.

So stupidly we had to check out if our rooms and check back in again, the only complication being that I would have to move rooms as mine had been allocated to another guest already, so I wouldn’t be able to check in to my new room until we come back from Wrestlemania tonight, let’s hope they haven’t forgotten!

As we missed hotel breakfast we decided to make for an IHOP just down the road. With it being a Sunday it was very busy so we had to wait to get a table. 

I had a lovely omelette with some coffee, Sam had pancakes and Jill had eggs, bacon and sausage. Perfect to set us up for the day.

Afterwards we made our way back over to Lincoln financial field. Traffic was already bustling and there were fans everywhere. We parked up on the same place as  yesterday. Great access to the stadium.

There was a great sense of buzz and excitement around the stadium and after waiting a bit they let us in. We headed straight to the elevator which would start taking us up when the concourses opened at 4:45.

Fans flooded in once again like yesterday and once we reached the 2nd floor we headed to guest services where we got our tickets exchanged again. We were in the same section as last night which would give a great view overall.

The event itself was breathtaking from start onto finish. Great matches, drama, spectacular entrances and even some surprise visits from wwe legends as well.

The main event ended brilliantly with the Rock and the Undertaker facing off in the ring. The match was won by Cody Rhodes who ended Roman Reigns title run of over 4 years

Sam was beside himself with joy. 

We later found out this was the highest grossing wrestiemanja, 15 previous shows had sold out as well. The Rock coming back probably helped as well.

Once back to the car we must have been sat for 1 hr to get out .eventually got to the hotel and just crashed about in our rooms at about 2am.

Tomorrow we explore the wonders of Philadelphia
