Airport madness 3, the delay

Airport madness 2

Welcome to my thursday morning of planes trains and automobiles!

Its not as exciting as you think, rather relaxing really aside from the shock of finding a mall in the middle of the departure terminal. I think I might head to the bar before my flight,  soak up those last pounds before heading to dublin. For now I wait though,  flight is in a couple hours and ive got nothing to do.

For those of you still in london and continuing to paris I wish you my best and hope it is amazing, really enjoyed traveling with you four and I look forward to seeing the rest of the trip on the blog.

For those I'm returning to, ill be back the evening of the 16th,  I will see you then, but might need some time to recover.

See you soon!

So to cover a couple of days...

Yesterday was spent running around the city and seeing the sights once more after twelve years, aside from some old memories and seeing the city at night though, this part of the trip belonged to those on it that have never been, was relaxing though.

Today However we made our way on a day trip to Cardiff,  for the doctor who experience! More of a museum and a short episode that you watched from within, but it was a nice last day for my trip, and ive got plenty of images to put up on my instagram feed...might be linking to that at some point on this blog, but for now they, and the rest of the group's posts and images can be founď on simplygeek.ca.

See you all tomorrow when im starting my return journey with a quick flight to dublin!

First day back in London

Aaaaand I played the tour guide

I've been there a couple times before,  heard the tours, seen the sights, so who better to bring a couple of tourists around?

But yeah, short post today, no pics...tomorrow and Wednesday should be better before I'm on my way home

See you then!

Last day in Scotland!

So today in our backpacking travels we headed to the national museum of Scotland,  admittedly it was a bit more like a science center,  but it wasred some of the day for us that we were waiting for a bus to London.  This is where I saw the biggest amythest gemstone in pure condition, and I honestly wanted to add it to my colllection....but museums

Afterward we took a free harry potter themed tour of the city...no comment, but hey it was free.

Ill be on a bus overnight, but should have another post for ya tomorrow,  see you then!

Happy Mothers Day!

I'm sorry that I won't be there to celebrate with you mom, but I will be returning with my gift to you on the 16th. Thank you for all your help with this trip. Love you mom <3 Edit: one more thing up on simplygeek.ca,  we made a video for our moms go watch!

Covering a couple of days in Scotland today, long post, sorry its late

Apologies for the delayof these posts, been a couple of long days filled with touristy stuff.

To start things off, the house we have here is wonderful; beach is steps away, the rooms we have are comfy and cottagey and our host was very helpful. All of that for a place we are only spending three days in.

The first day in Scotland was spent heading up to arthur's seat, an extinct volcano that towers over the city from its centre. The hike was a long one and we had a couple of scares, but we all got to the seat intact...and back to the bottom after a bit of a detour soaking wet . After we dried ourselves off we headed to the local pub, and were happy to find that the food was warm and cheap, enough so that we came back the next night for another meal.

For our second day we headed to Edinburgh castle, which wound up being a longer tour than we expected. I personally took an audio tour of the castle, hearing about the various sieges, royalty and changes that have happened involving this castle over six hundred years. It was good to say the least, taking five hours of our already late day.  We finished off last night with a fire on the beach, till late at night enjoying the night sky and each other's company.

Today we head to the national museum of Scotland,  see you on the next post!
