Frist full day in London now. We arrived early, since our train was in London already at 6.40 AM. Unfortunately didn't get sleep almost at all in the night train, for in the little cabin there was a way too poor air.. :( So I was dead tired at arriving. Took the tube to Hammersmith, closest tube station to our little hotel. Of course, since it was so early, our room wasn't ready yet, so left our luggage therr and went to search for breakfast from somewhere near b...

Again this little train is travelling through the greens of the Scottish highlands in the middle of the cows and _lots of sheep(!), from Stranraer to Glasgow, only this time we gotta change at Ayr. We booked the tickets at Nir Travel agency at the Gr. Victorian Str. train station, booked the beds to the Caledonian Sleeper as well, and the whole package from Belfast to London (ferry+trains, including the beds on the sleeper train) cost 88£/person.

On the train to Stranraer, and to the Stena Line ferry, which will take us to Northern Ireland, Belfast. This train is a tiny one, like a local train with only 2 coaches, pretty full as well (noisy british ones). Train departed Glasgow Central at 11.42 and it was at Stranraer at about 14.00. Now the ferry is leaving a bit late, about 20 mins, but that's ok. The ferry is like a Tallinn boat of Eckerö Line, or smth :D Looks the same&feels the same.. Anyway, w...
