Back to Inverness, Onward to London

I ascend a spiraling staircase of our hostel in Inverness, triumphant from our recent campaign up Ben Nevis. We have again arrived at Inverness, via bus ride. Here at Highlander Hostel we came back to recharge our batteries and prepare for the journey to London. We take it easy for the day and enjoy another group home cooked meal; this time it was tacos. We all ended up staying in that night playing poker. Using puzzle pieces and connect-four chips and drinking Stella from wine glasses we start a series of games. I ended up going out on an ace high flush to a four of a kind.



The next morning we leave mid afternoon for an overnight bus ride to London. It is one of the uncomfortable situations I have been in. No only are the seats uncomfortable but the bus ride in general is jaring. The seat recline about 1 degree, just enough for them to add a lever specifically for this 1 degree of decline, which does nothing for one's comfort level. With the bus ride we also got a little kids that like to use the back of my seat as a punch device, a mom that has no control over that kid and a dad that is passed out snoring loudly. In addition there are two more kids in the back of the bus yelling and giggling the entire trip. We get to London at 7:30am, I've had roughly 2hours of sleep in 5 and 10 minute intervals. I am exhausted.
