By Boat and Bus
Glasgow, Scotland - Day 8
We have a few of them, but today was our first major travel day. We woke up early and took a taxi to the "Europabus Station" in Belfast. It was 6:15 and our tickets said it departed at 6:30. There was no mention of our bus on the boards and the name of the bus was not on any of the gates. That was a little stressful. I ended up asking someone if they could help me. luckily enough the person I asked was taking the same bus and knew what was going on. Soon after, the bus showed up sporting a different name and route number than what was on our tickets...but we hopped on. It took us to where we wanted to go, the Stena Line ferry. We ran onto the ship and got a nice window seat and ate some breakfast. A few hours later we were in Scotland hopping on another bus. This one was full and sadly, Katie and I had to sit across the aisle from each other. About halfway to Glasgow a family got off and we switched seats to sit together. The bus dropped us off in downtown Glasgow at about noon. We walked about a mile to the car rental place. This time we got a 'spicy mustard' colored Fiat 500 which we have already dubbed, "Dijon". After hopping into the smallest car I have ever been in, we drove north to Fort William. The drive was a lot of fun and very pretty because of the mountains.
