surprise! i DO exist

So. I kind of haven’t written in a while since I’ve been having way too much fun to blog. By which I mean I had no access to the internet. Here’s a place by place update on my activities of the past while:

London
Was quite horrible. I have come to the realisation that I actually hate the place. Sure, you could blame this on jetlag or the guy in our room who coughed and sniffed all night, or the fact that the state our dollar is in means that a coffee cost equivalent to $7AUD. But me, I say it is the fault of the city itself. To its credit though, we did see a squirrel in Hyde Park right after I said, “you know what would complete today? If we saw a squirrel”.

Edinburgh
100 times nicer than London. In fact, the 9 hour bus trip to Edinburgh was nicer than being in London. Anyhow, they have free walking tours there which are radsome. Also, the hostel we stayed in which I think was called Castle Rock was epic cool. Sorry I do not know what is the go with the words I am using. I think we went into at least a million tartan shops, and a tartan weaving mill where we saw the loom of fate. In reality though, we actually saw the stone of destiny. That one isn’t a joke. And I broke my watch while iceskating.

Loch Ness
Okay so, our first night in Drummnadrochit, which is at Loch Ness, (and when I say night I just mean after dark so it was probably like 3pm) we were in a supermarket stocking up on macaroni cheese pies and Scottish porage, when suddenly all the lights wet out. Everyone in the shop (there were three of us. Including us) freaked out, and some guy shouted “run!” Unable to move we watched in horror as a large dinosaur-looking creature squeezed its way through the automatic doors okay I cant be bothered keeping this story up. But everything to the word “Run!” was true. The next day we had to play hide and seek with the hostel owners kids. In what I think was an effort to end the game (we had exhausted the two possible hiding places that we could fit into) Bridie took out monopoly. Big mistake; apparently the 7 year old boy plays online and is awesome. Yeah.

Inverness
Is quite a nice city. We’re just hanging out in the hostel atm. I don’t know if that’s because we are lazy or because there is pretty much nothing to do here. I expect its a bit of both. I actually cant remember anything else about this trip apart from everything I’ve written above, so maybe I’ll read my diary and add some comments later.
