Day 9 3:54 Manchester

Just off the bus. Finding a place to stay. Took a picture of a Staples for Steph. Manchester is so far just a big city and so far kind of scary.

Day 8 7:36 Glasgow

Rain, rain go away. So far Glasgow is okay, not as nice as Edinburgh but I will survive. Not happy that my laptop was not accepting internet in the bar :( Walked around Glasgow in big circles. Managed to get out to Uddingston to see Auntie Chrissie and am quite impressed with our directional abilities. Ugh stupid computer. Must try and get train imformation.

Trains are way too expensive so turns out we are bussing it. Whoot.

PS I tried calling you Steph and I got someone who said there was no Stephanie there. WTF will try again.

Thanks Neil for bringing that to my attention, had no idea.

Day 7 8:28 am Edinburgh

Just finished breakfast and have everything packed. Going to head for Waverly in a moment, see where we end up. Love ya!

Day 6 9:46 pm Edinburgh

Feeling alone right now. Would call Steph but shes at work and tomorrow I just don't know what will happen.

Remind me again why we are going to Glasgow? Might not go, might go. Don't know where else to go.

Day 6 7:20 pm Edinburgh

Last day in Edinburgh and I am really happy with how we spent it. We woke up and had breakfast in the bar area of the hostel, coffee and corn flakes. Wooo. After that we walked along Princes street and went up to the Royal Mile and did the wonderful New Europe Edinburgh tour which was free. Our tour guide was really awesome and I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the Madrid and Paris tours. Must go now though gahhhh

Day 5 8:11 pm Edinburgh

Wow, don't really know what we were expecting when we got off the train but it was not a leisure ten minute walk like the hostel said it was. Dragging our weight we got to the hostel, admiring the nice buildings and the road work making us do loops around the road. We got there and after endless flights of stairs found our room. We have a German girl we haven't met yet and a lovely Argentinian girl Dominique in our room. We had pizza hut for dinner, stuffed crust and we ate all but two slices before hitting up the National Gallery of Scotland which was in our fortune because it was open late only tonight and we were able to look around. My first viewing of an El Greco. Again more rambling about how flipping cool paintings can be. Walked down Princes Street, almost got Stephanie a Highland Cow calendar but did not buy it as there was no way I could get that home in my bag. Back at the hostel now having gone for paying £1 for 1 hour and I really hope mom doesn't mind. My lappytop would not connect but it probably will now :( and if it does then I get free but whatever. Stupid internet. Going on a free tour tomorrow and then maybe Cowdenbeath which is exciting.

Day 5 2:34 Berwick-upon-Tweed

English countryside is beautiful and a notable place I would love to visit sometime in the future is Berwick-upon-Tweed because from what I saw of it, it is gorgeous. Right on the coast and just wow. 45 minutes to Edinburgh, loving the sun and the coastline. Absolutely amazing.
