Went to watch Dundee United vs Celtic at Tannadice Park on saturday. This was the main reason for driving all the way to Dundee, along with a Laggan resident telling us that they have a 'cool hipster scene'. Celtic utterly dominated the game causing the Dundee fans to get VERY vocal. more cuss words than any AFL match i've been to!
'Lift ya feet ya fucking shite cunt!'
After the match, drove past Stirling Castle & the William Wallace monument on our way back to Glasgow. Dan mutilated some frozen cod we bought for dinner & Julia & I stayed in.
Sunday we went to the Hunterian Museum (not art gallery) which had a great cariety of stuffed animals, things in jars & old scientific devices. well worth the visit. FREE!
Then visited Modern Art museum. crap. got a few pints to pass he time in a rock bar then a blues pub. Bought a bottle of wine and sat in our hotel room (Smiths Hotel) watching news & rude tube. Saw our first ecig ad on the telly!
Today we cleaned out the van by putting the couch cushions back where we found them! Drove her back to Prestwick Airport. She was a bit dirty compared with how we picked her up but there were no issues.
This is where we left Dan who continued his journey to Barcelona & Cuba. Will be nice just to be Julia & I for a while. Got a bit tiring having to notify Dan where we were headed all he time.
Julia & I are now attempting to make our way to Carlisle via the buses. We had read & were told that the quickest route was to go back up to Glasgow first. But that didn't stop us trying to navigate via 4-5 smaller towns instead!
Caught a bus to Ayr, then Cumnock, timetable had changed and we had an our wait before heading to Dumfries to catch a train to Carlisle. Bus driver was a chery chap whos heart whent out to the Melbourne Bikie gangs after watching an episode of Ross Kemp.
Trip cost to Carlisle: 2, 4, 4, 10 pounds.
Reason for Carlisle: Wanted to stay in one place for a few days after rushing around in he van for 10 days. It's a good distance closer to our Coast to Coast walk and seems to have some interesting sights in the vicinity.
Staying at the Carlisle City Hostel (17 pound per night) & hope to see Hadrians Wall & Beatrix Potters house!
To travel 100 mile, it's looking like it's going to take us 6 hours :S... All good, gives me some time to write in this bad boy and read Snow Crash. However! I believe it would have been 3 hours had we just gone back to Glasgow first...
