Today I woke up had some McDonalds for breaky!! They have cappachinos here kinda funny but tastes way better than the shit coffee. It was more like Scottish weather today kinda overcast but the rain held off. I managed to talk the hostel guy into giving me a sweatshirt so that I could fend off a bit of the weather because the Bedford never sent me anything saying we have your jacket. GREAT being in Scotland thats the ONE thing you need is a rain jacket and I had nothing of the sort. Oh well here we go. Took the train to Perth even though I wasn't scheduled to leave till 530 I took the 11am haha fuckers. It worked too I was a bit scetch watching for the conductor to come round but he never ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Angus » Dundee May 22nd 2009

Today I had to to use my time wisely because i still wanted to see the National Gallery and I had to pick up my train tickets and make sure I didnt miss my train! If you do miss it your screwed because your supposed to just have a ticket for that one train otherwise buy another one right!!! So i got through the gallery in record timing (wasnt allowed to wear my camel back i had to carry it on my side). Saw the impressionist paintings i wanted to see Monet Van Gogh and Rapheal very cool indeed. Then it was just a short stint to Waverly station. Got my tickets from the self serve machine which was a bit of a experience but ended up working. I had two sets of tickets to get ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Midlothian » Edinburgh May 21st 2009

Well today i had lotsa rest to wake up and make a nice big breaky for myself in the morning. I bought some food to make my breakfast the night before so I was all prepared for the morning. Had a shower but had to wait for 15 mins while the chubby hostel chick took her sweet ass time haha. They have great showers so i enjoyed that, (especially when im only averaging three a week). Got all cleaned up and decided to walk a different way into town today. Took George st which runs parallel to Princess which is the main st. Walked through the park and across the bridge into the Old town where all the sights were. It was getting near one now and i really wanted to witness the 1o'clock shot from ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Midlothian » Edinburgh May 20th 2009

Well this was the first puke of the trip not bad almost 2 weeks in hahaha. I woke up alright but then after awhile i had to get it outta me. I ran to the bathroom but it was closed up tight so i managed to get most of it in the trash outside!!! HAHAHA and you cant really be quiet in the Belford because everything echoes like a mothafuka. Ha so i went back to bed for a bit to get over this. Never worked so i got up and went out to find a good place for some breaky. Well i wasnt into walking at all so i sat at the bus stop down the raod for like 20 mins. PUKEd again to the horror of some old ppl but this time it was ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Midlothian » Edinburgh May 19th 2009

Well I was determined to get a few more things done today because yesterday was a little underachieved in my eyes. Started off by having some breaky and cleaning everything up so Rory would'nt have a bad taste in his mouth the next time someone asked him to surf. Got a picture saying goodbye with his roomie Helen wrote a quick note and i was off. Got to the Art Gallery in town and explored around there for quite some time. My train didnt leave untill 1 so it worked out well. They made me put my bad under the steps which was a little worrysome but they told me no one had ever taken anything from there and that they would personally run after em. I thought that was enough to rest my mind. After ... read more

Great sleep on the couch although i kept waking up cause everyone needed to start their days way earlier than i planned!! So i got up and had some tea around 1030 ish, had some breaky and got ready to set off for a day of exploring. I walked through the outskirts of town not making a right turn somewhere i walked past a bunch of cool shops and amusement centers (uk casinos) and ended up walking across a huge bridge to end up in Quay pronounced key. Walked down to the harbour and found the cool Mellenium bridge which is quite the design. Walked over that to the Baltic and had a look in there for awhile. Not a huge fan of modern art!!! At all Best thing in there was this gallery for Darwin ... read more

I woke up much earlier today fresh from a good nights sleep and was prepared to leave the hostel to go see Joan my buddy Lester's mom. I tried to reach her the night before but i left a message instead. So when I was all packed up I called her and got ahold of her finally. She was a little hard of hearing to say the least. She thought that Les was coming as well so I felt a bit bad to dissapoint her. Ohad was leaving to Manchester as well so we took the bus to Windemere to wait for the train which was gonna work out to be the fastest option, but it was way more expensive and the bus was only gonna be a short while longer so I decided to walk ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Cumbria » Ambleside May 16th 2009

Today i woke up way too late but at least I wasnt hung at all!! Woke up around 11 and got in trouble because we were supposed to be out by 1030 and missed breakfast as well! I wasnt too happy cause its not like we were staying for free! Your really not allowed to sleep in which i think is ridiculous...and no breakfast!!! I bought stuff to eat so i wasnt happy...they said that it was the law that ppl had to be out while they were cleaing or something. Oh well i paid for my next night and they were happy again. So we treked off to take the bus to the trail. On the way we grabbed some breaky, turned out to be fish and chips cause it was like 1130 =(. Then ... read more

I got up at normal time today. Only this time i had to worry about packing up all my crap!! I did all my laundry the night before in the sink to dry so i was pretty much ready to go! Packed up all my stuff and Simon had to take me for some more Black pudding at the Shamrock so i would be ready for my journey to the Lake District. I called the hostel at Ambleside and made a reso for the night so i knew i had a place to rest my head. They said it was one of the last spots so I was lucky!!! So off we went for some grease. I only got the med but that was good enough!! ohhhhhh man it was good...i was gonna miss this for ... read more

Today was the day for Caernafon!!! I woke up earlyish and woke everyone up getting ready. Of course s2 slept in the computer room making it very convienent for me! Anyways Simon got up after awhile and made me a cup a tea and i had some breaky to prepare for a long day. I took the train to Chester and transferred to Bangor.Lovely train ride it was super rainy but I saw the Irish Sea and tons of hills with sheep and all that countryside splendour. From Bangor it took awhile to get a bus to the castle. Also it was pretty expensive but it ended up working out pretty well for me. Once i got to Caenarfon I asked the bus driver how to get to the castle and he insisted he didnt know!!! ... read more
