Chris and I hired a car for the weekend to take a road trip to Scotland (about 7.5hrs from Surrey). We left Friday night to start part of the driving and avoid me getting too car sick. We spent the night in a hotel in Birmingham and completed the drive to Glasgow the following morning. There isn't much to do in Glasgow, we looked around at the main shopping strips, visited George Square and Merchant City. After enquiring everywhere for accommodation we were unsuccessful as everywhere was booked out for the football, a concert and the bank holiday weekend. We started our drive to Edinburgh (about 40min from Glasgow) with the idea of finding accommodation on the outskirts. This was proving to be a challenge too. By 11pm we were left with the Caravan Park option as Chris had borrowed a tent from a work mate. Trying to erect it with just the headlights of the car and no instruction was a challenge. After an hour we were too tired and decided to just sleep in the car for the night. Probably lucky as there was torrential rain most of the night. We spent the whole day Sunday in Edinburgh, we did the hop-on-hop-off tourist bus. Spent a few hours at the Edinburgh Castle, looked in a few souvenir shops and experienced a Scottish pub and beer. Chris and I love Scotland, especially Edinburgh. It is beautiful. If only we could send home all this rain we are having and all this greenery!!!
