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. It was just long enough for my torso, so I slept with my legs over the arm and my head crooked up against the other. I looked at my watch, it was 945. I needed to be on the bus at 1100. I hurredly started packing my gear. Luckily the night before I just slept in my clothes so...

GLASGOW 2 Day 132 Friday Dec11 First things first today was breakfast with Vanessa. We went via a few potential places that didn’t seem any good and ended up at more amore. The place we were at last night. Here I had a traditional Scottish Breakfast. Just like an English breakfast with the addition of a potato crepe and Haggis.

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...

BELFAST The bus to belfast was fine. It took about 2.5 hours, but it stank. There were some girls behind me putting on their faces for the night. They looked like slappers and the nail polish smell plus the aroma from all the other chemicals was really over whelming. The bus did have one cool feature though. The TV at the front of the bus was showing a picture from a video camera mounted to the front of the bus. So it almost gave the effect of sitting in the pa...
