Home Sweet Home

Well we made it home. I wish we were still over there though. We needed at least another week in London to finish off our list of things to do, if not longer. 

Glasgow ended up being better than expected. Well, we didn't actually do anything in that particular city but sleep. We did a day trip to Edinburgh. We went to Edinburgh castle and on a fantastic walking tour, where the tour guide is a registered Scottish storyteller, which is apparently a real thing. So he just told stories the whole time and I really enjoyed it. Then we went to a pub called The Last Drop, which is where Anne took Tim for haggis. So we had our haggis, which was alright, and then sticky toffee pudding, which as absolutely amazing. 

The next day we went on a highland tour. It went up to Loch Ness, where we took a cruise, and then back. Was a full day- left at 8 and returned at 7:45. Apparently we covered 400 miles. It poured the whole time, so we couldn't actually see much, plus the tour guide kept talking about how much more beautiful it is in the summer, so I will definitely have to go back. 

The next day we flew to London. Our hostel was right beside the British Museum so we went there for a couple hours after checking in. The mummy section was my favourite. It seems like everything we wanted to do in London takes up a big chunk of a day, so we had to pick and choose our activities. We did a walking tour, walked through Hyde Park, went to Harrod's, saw Book of Mormon, which was absolutely hilarious, did the Tower of London, and the London Eye. Plus various pubs, including The Maple Leaf. The Tower of London was my favourite part of the whole trip I think. I loved it. 

Neither of us are looking forward to work tomorrow, but the thought of making money to go on another trip is good motivation.
