Off to Oban

2004-09-22 |Oban, United Kingdom This morning I waited for the 12 o'clock bus and ate breakfast somewhere other than the hostel. I also prepare a little surprise some of you will know about later.

We stopped by Eilean Donan Castke. This was a very amazing castle but I was disappointed it wasn't as old as it looks. The tour was boring.

After that I tried to make a sandwich while swerving in and out of the highland roads. I made a turkey sandwich with pita bread. but the worst thing about it was that I put this English mustard on it. Now, this just ruined my lunch. We also saw the castle that the final scene was shot in Monty Pythons Holy grail.

When I got into Oban I saw a to do list of things to do. I saw see STALKER CASTLE!! I was really excited. But come to find out it takes too long to get to. Sorry Kirt.

In Oban a ton of people from the macB tour went karaoking. I did two songs and my neck is a little soar from all the crazy rock dancing I do when I am up

Thin Roads and Big Glens

2004-09-23 | Glassgow and Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Today we woke up and I was super tired from staying up all night. We drove most of the day but we stopped by a hairy coo farm (got another good pic). At least they didn't smell this time. Driving today we went down these one lane roads that we barely fit in. I talked a lot about Denmark with my new friend Rosalina for a little. I learned some crazy things about how their government works. Their whole country is as left as they come and they pay like 60 percent taxes.

We went to the Wallace memorial as well today, that was alright. I wish I had gotten to see his sword, but that would have cost like 6 pounds. Another thing we did was see one of the most beautiful views in all of Scotland. It was at Rob Roy's grave up this huge glen. The view was just as good as on Skye. It was so relaxing.

When we got to Glassgow I said goodbye to all of my new friends and now I am here in Edinburgh. Tonight I

A Long Walk

2004-09-24 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom

When I woke up I immediately went to a free walking tour of the city. We went up and down the royal mile which is the heart of the city. Our guide spoke of how the city was built and also mentioned how people would throw their waste into the street even if there is someone standing there! The city used to be extremely unsanitary and the black plague hit the worst here.

He also showed us some of the buildings that are 200 years older than the US. Some of which they used to torture people accused of witch craft.

Another interesting place was the door where they used to nail someone's ear to if the seller sold an incorrect amount of sugar or something to someone. They might get like 8 hours nailed to the door. People could piss on them or throw rotten vegetables. Some who were impatient would rip part of their ear off which would be bad because people would trust them because they didn't finish their

Hanging out in Spain?

2004-09-26 | Barcelona, Spain

Well I just submitted a story and then I tried to look at a picture as well and it refreshed the page, I will try to repeat all of what I said. Stupid computers!!

Anyways the flight into Barcelona went off without a hitch. I spent 16 pounds on a train ticket to the airport. But come to find out they shut down the trains, so I overpaid about 10 pounds and had to take the bus. The plane ride was great through. I picked up a Barcelona map at the airport.

Once I got there I bought a bus ride into the city again because Ryan air has to fly into smaller airports. When I was putting my backpack on the bus the stupid ticket flew out of my mouth a good ways and luckily I recovered it.

On the bus I met two great guys that I have been hanging out with ever since. John and I have dedicated many days of traveling together and we seem to be enjoying each others company.

We got into the city and there was this huge festival called Merc? There

Biking Barcelona

2004-09-27 | Barcelona, Spain

Somehow I managed to sleep a whole 12 hours in the hostel. I think I have been needing it. My legs were still soar from walking up the glen that overlooks Edinburgh.

Anyways the day before, me and my buddies had decided to do this bike around Barcelona. It cost 22 Euros but it is for like 4 and a half hours. We got to see many sights at a perfect pace. We saw a lot of Gaudis sights. We saw the place were Christopher Columbus landed and told everyone of the new world. We saw a park and also the copy of the Arc de Triumph in Paris. The Parisians were pissed about that. After that we sat down at the beach for 45 minutes drinking Cerbezas and hanging out. It was a blast. There was a ton we saw and mainly the pictures will tell the story.

After that it was like 6 and we got back to the hostel. I wasn't really hungry and John went out for food. I just relaxed and did my own thing. Me an John met up
