Date: 22 Mar - 24 Mar
This is one of my very unexpected trips. I have been trying to make the plans of visiting Scotland at the Easter breakbut no plans ever worked out. The flights became expensive and trains did the same. So until friday 21st Mar afternoon I was expecting my long easter hols to be spent at home and posibally do nothing interesting. Hmmmm that was not going to be the case.
2 of Rahul's friends came from Ipswich and I remember while going from Victoria to Trafalgur Sq in bus we 4 were suddenly showed our willingness to goto Scotland unplanned. We got the tickets 6:30 in the evening. Our coach (coach means bus here in London, I always get confused) was suppose to leave at 9:30pm. So we just had enough time to go home pack and come back. I will consider ourselves lucky that we happen to book the Guest House with few minutes in hand. All in a mad rush. We just managed to catch the coach.
The 8.5 hr coach journey was one hell of a ride. As soon as the coach there was some problem and in no time the heater stopped working. So it was a night spent in a chilled bus where outside temperatures touched -3 degree. We happen to change the coach in the last leg of the journey. From Glasgow we changed into a new coach but it did little good. So we arrive ini Edinburgh at 8 in the morning.
We kept our luggage in the Guest house but could not move in until noon. So the first 2 hrs were spent in the Starbucks Coffe at High Street to give some warmth to our cold asses. We moved on to explore Edinburg. Near by High street did see a lot of places . Had a great luch at Pizza Hut. My pals choose to go back to Guest house and rest whereas I chose to xplore mysely. I went back in the evening and saw everyone sleeping. hahaha In the night we happen to goto a Pub playing live rock music. The second Scottish pub was even better. But the third Club we been to was an amazing. The meeting with the russian lady was amazing. And I will always remember the dance with her.
Here are the few Pix:
The best pic I took.
