Up to Scotland - April 5th

Today was the earliest day yet. We were up and off to the train station by 740. We caught a taxi from RA's place, the driver shared the feelings that the Michael Jackson statue was very strange. After a quick stop at the post office we waited on the platform. Then the rain started, so we moved under the cover. When the train pulled up we moved to a car that wasn't full. So that we had a seat on the way up to Vauxhall. Which is the station just prior to Waterloo. The train did get full as it was during the morning commute.

We switched to the Victoria line at Vauxhall. We had to wait for the third train before we could get on, it was almost like Shinjuku. Except there were no people pushers, people just shoved there way on. This train was completely packed, most people departed at the Oxford Circus stop. We then alighted at Euston and transferred to the Virgin train up to Scotland.

WiFi was 12 pounds for 3 days, as we will be returning on Thursday I purchased the access. It has made the trip go by faster than it would have otherwise. The speeds are not the fastest, but Youtube works. So that isn't that bad. Several stops were added during the journey. As we travel north the weather gets wetter and wetter.

Finally got into Glasgow Central station at 1410. As it would happen there is a Starbucks right in the middle of the station. So after a quick stop and amazing the Baristas with my Gold Card, it was onto the local service train. While sitting on the train before it left, I felt something crawling on my neck. Without thinking I reached up and grabbed it and threw it. It hit a guy sitting further down the train in the face. Then the bee flew away, in this scenario no one was injured, so that was good. I started laughing with just how ridicules it was.

We finally arrived at our last stop. My uncle picked us up from the train station. They are very funny people, and the dinner was excellent. This was a really relaxing day.
