London Day 137 Wednesday Dec16 I woke up on the bus yesterday after a much needed couple of hours of sleep and it was snowing. It looked so cool and I really didn’t expect it. The bus ride was fairly uneventful however it did take one and a half hours to travel from the out skirts of London to the centre. It was snowing however and looked really pretty so I didn’t mind. First things first I walked from the arrivals part of Victoria coach station to th...

SHEFFIELD Day 134 Sunday Dec13 1000 (14Dec) I woke up yesterday to the sound of Oscar the Colombian shifting around the house. I’d slept on a couch that was no longer the 3feet long.

Haggis is pretty much just the really bad parts form a sheep minced up with a heap of spices, stuffed back into the stomach and ba...

The bus started filling pretty quickly and had a few stops on the way out of Glasgow, I pretty soon realized that I was going to have to shar...

EDINBURGH From the airport it was a bus into town. Edinburgh is a beautiful city. Much more so then Dublin and exponentially better then Belfast. There’s a massive fair set up too so despite the rain I decided to walk the long way to my hostel. Lucky for this too. At the fair I stopped and grabbed out my phone, there was a message from a guy about the emergency request saying I could crash at his. I replied saying where I was and that’d be great. He said...
