My day...
(technically it started at 2 am because I couldn't sleep)
In Belfast this morning. Leave hostel by 7 am. 1 terrible instant coffee ingested and a bowl of cornflakes. Taxi to port (10 pounds). Run into port ready to grab the 7:30 boat to Cairnryan, Scotland.
Too late. Had to buy tickets at least half an hour before. Next boat is at 1130 am. I stretch out on the empty chairs, dry my towel and talk nonsense about strange baby names with Mindy.
9 am buy tickets. Led upstairs to loading area. Dooze and read "Mysteries of Udolpho."
11 am move to closer loading area. No reason why. Too tired to know name.
11:15 LOAD THE BOAT!
11:30 passed out on boat.
1:10 wake up on boat. 35 minutes to Scotland. Buy sandwich AND Americano.
1:15 finish sandwich, grab coffee, bundle and run to the to deck of the boat and watch Scotland come into view. Amazing. Simply amazing. Hair whipped everywhere, scarf in face and backpack pulling on the shoulders but I don't care. It was beautiful.
1:30 unload and fist pump. Nice.
1:45 Bus to train depot.
One hour later, after a nauseas but still breathtaking bus ride we find our train.
5 pm we arrive in Glasgow. I don't know the time. Probably around 5 pm.
5:15 we are in a pub. Beer. Water. Coke. CHUG cause we gots to go.
5:47 on a train to Edinburgh. Tired. Falling asleep on self. Have to pee. Hungry. Looking rough. Don't care.
About 7 pm deboard train and hello Edinburgh! Pay for a pee (30 pounds), grab a coffee and start the walk.
Find hostel. Eat haggis. Drink tea and beer. Write blog. Talk to strangers about where they are from.
PASS OUT!
And splat CT out yo!
