Glasgow, Scotland
The 8 hour night-bus ride from London to Glasgow was not the funnest in the world (a 17 year old puker, and a similar aged London gangster girl who was "getting out of town to stay low for while" since she got into a fight with a girl from another gang), but hey....if you can try sleep through it all...what does it matter...really? Too bad I am incapable of sleeping on a bus or else it would have been alright.
This aside, it by no means foreshadowed the rest of my trip. I met up with my friend Richard who I met in Lagos who showed me the city (which is fantastic by the way! The shopping was too good to be true and it kinda made me depressed I couldnt buy any of it! Well, except for what I needed; hat and mittens for Russia). We checked out the Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow Uni (both of which are gorgeous!!), and did a little road trip up to Loch Lomond where the highlands begin. Can't complain when you're sipping some tea on a big comfy couch overlooking the lake and mountains in the background.
Did i mention how much I love the Scottish accent? So ya, just overhearing people speak was fun for me. Trying to imitate it just made Richard shake his head in disbelief of how silly I sounded, haha!
I went to Edinburgh with my family when I was younger, and I had always heard that Glasgow was a great place as well, so I finally made it there. The bus ride back to London was 100x better as it was pretty much empty...ah, space! I think I was able to sleep for 1 hour, 20 minutes at a time...but not bad for me!
Off for Finland soon!
