Glasgo Trip

So I got up early on friday Morning to catch the bus to Stanstead. I was flying on Ryan air to glasgow for the rugby. I managed to get to the airport on time but my friends did not. So it was off to get some food and wait for my friends.

I went to pret a manager for an egg an tomato sandwich on rye. £1.60, good stuff. Following that I topped up my mobile at Boots. Then I sat down and looked around at the airport which reminds me of a big shed.

When gansey and Jo arrived, we decided to hire a car and drive to Glasgow. Road Trip!!! It cost £105 plus fuel compared to £80 each on the train.

We travelled up the M1 motorway and then the M6, with a £3 toll to Glasgow. We stayed with Colin and Laura, some friends of Gainsey's in an old bed and breakfast.

The next morning we made our way into Glasgow to drop off the car at Avis. After filling the car with fuel (avis charge £1.75 per litre), we caught a taxi to Buchanin Street in Glasgow.

We arrived at Buchanin street and had a look at a few shops. Ganesy and I went to the drum and monkey pub, where suprisingly, a lot of people were wearing kilts. Jo proceeded to shop and Ganesy and I had a £3.80 Hoegarrden before we all caught a taxi to the rugby.

The temperture at the rugby was less than ideal, I think my berries were the size of peas. I don't know how the aussie players could handle the ball in that cold. We were sitting in row P which was pretty close to the action. The final score in the game was Australia 31 Scotland 17.

After the rugby, we went to a few pubs in town before settling down at the Buddha bar. After getting home at about 1pm and being ripped off by a taxi driver, (watch them in Glasgow).

The next day was Sunday and after sleeping in we finally made it to the train for Edinburgh. We visisted the city and had a quick look around. I only saw the famous Edinburgh Castle from a distance and walked up to the royal mile where we grabbed a bite to eat at an italian restaurant (no haggis for me).

The next day it was on the plane, yes we made it this time, and home to Cambridge.
