Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland July 4th 2014

Finally we have reached the third country on this whirl-wind adventure: Scotland! We took a ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan and then a bus took us all the way to Glasgow. The ferry was decent, nothing special. Lots of ocean and blue sky to take pictures of. But the bus ride, oh my goodness it was glorious. The Scottish coast is really a sight to be seen. I wish we could drive all over this country. Scratch that, the whole world. So much of the countryside to explore! Our first city (Glasgow) was much more exciting than we were lead to believe.

Europe » Ireland June 26th 2014

Europe » Iceland » Southwest » Reykjavík June 22nd 2014

Day One (06/20): Jay and I boarded our plane At 630 pm and it arrived in Reykjavik at 630 am the next morning. A first I thought tat the plane ride was going to be great; everyone got blankets and pillows to keep comfy on the ride. ooooh and a free water bottle. But alas, like every other flight these days we didn't get any food. Not even peanuts or pretzels for heaven's sake. needless to say we were exhausted by the time we got to the airport. Day Two (06/21): We took at shuttle bus from the airport, which was 45 minutes away from the centre of town. Reykjavik has only about 200,000 people but it is very spread out. Our hostel is rig the centre of the city which is great. the reception floor ... read more
