Where the Monkey Sleeps

It’s becoming a habit: the MegaBus sleeper arriving in Glasgow way too early, and having breakfast at Where the Monkey Sleeps after ditching the luggage. However, we visited the new venue of Where the Monkey Sleeps, since it’s a bit closer to the hostel. A bit more open and lighter than the original, but the same impressive bagels!

Victoria Coach Station

After dinner — although mostly a liquid one — we made our way back to Victoria Coach Station. When we arrived there, quite a lot of people were already waiting for our bus, so for the first time, I was not one of the first to board it.
It didn’t make much of a difference though, since we had the same berths as last time, and no one sleeping on the berth above us.
So, next stop: Glasgow.
Goodnight!

Eurotunnel

No further delays in the Eurotunnel, so we’re on our way to London, only 15 minutes behind on schedule, according to the MegaBus driver.

Off to Scotland Again!

And we’re off to Scotland again!
French border control went faster than ever, but the British decided to let their sniffer dog have a go at us and our stuff first… Nothing was found though, so without any further interruption we can continue to the Eurotunnel terminal.

Clyde Clock

scotianostra:

Waiting for a bus so here’s a wee pic I just took of the Clyde Clock, it is an odd specimen; a stainless steel statue of a running pair of legs, with a cube clock as a body. Aptly positioned outside Buchanan Bus Station, it was created by Glasgow artist George Wyllie.

One of the last things I see of Glasgow each time I leave the city, since the curtains on the Megabus sleeper back to London, are usually shut by the time I get on…
