Glasgow at last!

We actually arrived 25 minutes early, but if you’re so uncomfortable you can’t really sleep, seven and a half hours still seems like a very long time!
Now first a coffee and a hearty breakfast to get me started.

Megabus Gold disappointment?

Apparently the MegaBus Gold coach broke down, and has been replaced by what seems to be the oldest vehicle in the fleet… So no luxurious seats, no private berths, no WiFi, and not even power outlets for the passengers. And I was really looking forward to use the sleeper service for the first time!
That’ll be a call to customer services in the morning for a refund…

Update: After a short Twitter exchange, they promptly refunded me the MegaBusMegaBus Gold price difference, so no complaints there.

The Voyage Home

My six-day mission to explore Glasgow, to seek out new water of life and new friends, to boldly go where only few kilted men have gone before, has come to an end. I’m on the bus to London, wearing uncomfortable trousers again and constantly reminding myself not to forget the bottles under my seat.

Glasgow has been a great discovery, this actually is a city I could see myself living in!

Last Day in Glasgow

My last day in Glasgow I did a final -failed – attempt to find a nice kilt jacket, a last visit to the BrewDog bar to do some essential shopping. Not quite recovered yet from the ceilidh of the night before, I decided to skip the one of Saturday night, and join my new Glaswegian friends on a little pub crawl instead. And for once, I wasn’t the only one wearing a kilt! 🙂
