Scottish Highlands The third day staying in Glasgow we rented a car (thanks for the deal Bert) and Dylan took over leading us North to the Scottish Highlands. We drove around for hours with nothing but rivers, lakes, mountains, and waterfalls. We did one hike through the mountains which was dangerously close to a long drop down. You could walk each trail for hours but we would go for an hour or 2 then head back to the car and keep on driving. We headed to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, and decided to begin the trek. It [View Full Entry]

Glasgow and Edinburgh We arrived in Glasgow where the great Dylan Login (soon to be Dr. Logan) greeted us at the train station and walked us back to his residence at the University of Glasgow. Our plan was to save money and stay his place for 4 nights. We went out to a few pubs, one of which had an open mic and the people in the crowd were all very good. I spoke with a local at the bar about Canada answering all of her questions, which to Dylan was funny enough to have my own HBO comedy special. [View Full Entry]

Brussels, Belgium Arriving in Brussels later than expected, and having to leave early the next day, we had to make the most of our time.

We ordered a large pizza, but just to feel cultured, we ordered some fancy Belgian beers along with it (you can buy beer anywhere in Europe). We asked the waitress to point us to the city centre, which was about a 15-minute walk away from where we [View Full Entry]

Amsterdam We took an overnight ferry from London to Amsterdam across the North Sea...not knowing what to expect, the ferry was more like a cruise ship, with a bar, blackjack and roulette tables, a restaurant, and a movie theatre, as well as our own room and bathrooms. This was far too classy for us, but we did our best to fit in like we knew what we were doing. We arrived in Amsterdam and finally found our shuttle that was taking us out to Noordwijk, a small town on the beach about an hour outside of Amsterdam. On the way to [View Full Entry]

London We arrived in London in the morning and had the challenge of finding our hostel. Even though they speak English here, we still struggled understanding a word that the first few people that we spoke with were saying. Finally we found someone who spoke a form of English that we could undsertand and we made our way into town. The first person that we met on the whole trip was about 5 minutes into our train ride, and she was from St. Catharines and lives in Toronto. The first day was tough to overcome the jet lag so we wondered [View Full Entry]
