Monday 4/19

Day ten of being stuck in the U.K.

We finally caught our bus to Glasgow, where we had to sit in the bus station for seven more hours. I'm sure you can imagine our extreme boredom and craziness by this point. We did yet more word searches, I started reading this book where they killed the main character in the first chapter, and we had lunch. Great times.

After that was a bus to the ferry, where we sat and waited for another hour. At least there they had free Wifi, so we went online for a bit.

Once we got on to the ferry, we logged back into the internet while eating supper and just played card games and Snood until it was time to get out in Belfast. While we were on the ferry, the sun set. It was very pretty.
We caught the bus to get to Belfast itself, then transferred to the one which would take us to Dublin Airport. At this point we were all exhausted, so we almost missed the stop, but thankfully woke up in time to argue about whether we were in the right place. And then guess what we did? Waited! For four hours! I felt bad, though, because all of the chairs upstairs were filled with people waiting to fly home, people who couldn't just find a ferry. We found some squishy chairs and I slept for a while, then we got up to get on the 5:30 morning bus to Galway.

After finally getting back, we just had to walk back to our apartments. I never actually napped Tuesday, but just showered and did mad laundry and studied.

I've got to say that we had three saviors on this trip: the deck of cards, Snood, and the word search. They didn't keep us sane, but at least they kept us entertained.

Welcome to the U.K.
