The Keyboard Purchase

I saw the ad of second hand keyboard on a classifieds website.
The place was chest hunt which was quite distant place from my office. But the keyboard was very nice and very cheap as well so I decided to buy it. I left from office at around 6pm in the evening. It was raining all outside. I went to Liverpool street station. From there I have taken the greater Angelia train. It took me around one hour to reach the destination. From station the place was still 2km away. So i walked in the rain for 2km. After that I reached the person's home who was selling the keyboard.
On return journey he dropped me to the station by his car. From there i came by greater angelia train to Liverpool station. Carrying such a heavy keyboard in hand was very difficult that to train. But somehow I managed it and reached home at around 11pm in the night. That was a very memorable day.

Oxford circus and Picadilly circus

Yesterday night we went to Oxford Street and Picadilly circus. We left fronm home at 9pm. We took the bakerloo line train to Oxford circus station.

The view outside the Oxford circus station was just awesome.  There were big TV and decoration everywhere.  There were some bunch of people singing and dancing. 

We had some food at mcd and then walked along the Oxford Street.  The Oxford Street is very beautiful.  It has also got Europe's first apple showroom.

After some walk we reached Picadilly circus. It was much more beautiful than Oxford circus. Due to limited time,  we didn't get chance to see it thoroughly but we enjoyed spending time over there. We will definitely come back there sometime. ..

The Rats Problem

We never thought of this but we faced this in London.  Yes there were rats in our room and not just one or two. In one day only we caught 7 rats. Another day we caught 5 rats and everyday on an average we were catching two to three rats. They were eating our food items papers plastics etc.  We were really frustrated by seeing this everyday. We were even have to get up in the midnight because of the rats.

The Internet Connection Problem

We never thought that taking internet connection in london will be problem but we faced it. The room which we took had no Internet connection but the aunty said we will get the connection in one week.

Trip to Scotland

Last weekend,  we went to Scotland.  It was really awesome trip. We were four friends, Niranjan, kalyani and uzma my office friends.  We left from London on 3rd

October,  friday night. We had our bus booked at Victoria station.  We left for Edinburgh at 11pm. That was a national express bus to Edinburgh.

After a whole night journey,  we reached Edinburgh on 4th October,  Saturday morning. It was really cold weather outside and there was also little rain. We went to washroom to get refreshed and then put our luggage in the lockers. The first thing we targeted to see was Edinburgh castle.

One of our friend paddy also joined us on the way. Edinburgh castle is really nice structure. 

From there we went to see forth bridge. Forth bridge is really an engineering marvel. Its more than 200 years old. There we have taken a cruise which took us close to the bridge.  The view was just awesome. We were also able to some seals in the see.

From there, we went to craymond island.  It was a low tide time so we were able to go deep inside.  We climbed the hills to reach up and taken lots of photos there.

In the evening,  we went back to bus station from where we have taken our bags and then went to train station. We had our train booked from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

It was a two hours journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow. On 4th night only, we reached Glasgow. Our friend paddy lived in Glasgow only. We reached Glasgow around 10 pm. Glasgow is a very beautiful city. The temperature was around 7 - 8 degree.  We walked all the way from train station to George square,  the central Glasgow.  There we had our dinner in an Indian hotel. After that we reached our hotels around 11 pm.

It was basically a hostel type hotel called euro hostel. But it was a really nice and comfortable hotel. 

Next day morning I.e. on 5th of October,  we were ready for our first Glasgow tour. We have booked a tour company called discover Scotland tours. The tour was scheduled to leave at 8.40 in the morning. 

When we boarded the bus, what we saw was really surprising.  We four were the only tourist in the bus. No one else was there in the bus apart from the driver. It was kind of private bus tour for us.

The climate was really cold outside. The tour driver was also very interesting.  The told some really interesting stories about Scotland and also played some Scottish songs on the way.

The first place which we saw was a hilly area. It was amazing view. Some car sports was also going on there. We took few photos there and had some coffee.

Next we saw a queens castle and then went to Oban's distillery. Whiskey is one of the most famous product of Scotland and oban distillery showed us the process of manufacturing of whiskey.  We also tasted some whisky. They also gifted us a small whisky glass. 

Oban Distillery

Cost: £1950

Some whisky kept there was as old as 30 years and as costly as 2lakh INR.

After a full lot of adventure whole day, we started our journey back to Glasgow.  On the was we saw some deers. Our driver stopped the bus and we came out and took some pictures with the deers. They were female deers and were really beautiful.

On the way we also saw some rivers caves and some old bridges more than 300 years old.

At around 6 O clock in the evening,  we reached Glasgow. From there, we went to Paddy's home. Paddy had prepared awesome pavbhaji for us. It was really superb. We really enjoyed a lot there.

At 12 o'clock in the night, we celebtated the birthday of Kalyani.  She cut the cake and then we took lots of photos.

After that we left for our hotel in the Glasgow.  Paddy's roommate Prasad dropped us to the hotel.

Next day on 6th of October,  we were ready for our next tour. That was again a discover Scotland tour but this was scheduled to depart at 7.40 am in the morning.

It was raining a lot that day. We reached at 7.30 am on the exit gate of hotel and started waiting for the tour bus driver. We didn't received any call from them. After 15 minutes wheb I called the customer service,  they said the bus driver has already left from the hotel and if you have to catch the bus, you have to walk to George square which was around 15 minutes walk from hotel. We had no choice but to walk. We started walking in the rain towards George square.  After 15 minutes we reached there but we were unable to find the tour bus. We were searching fir the bus here and there.we also tried calling the customer service but they were not picking the phone.we thought we are going to miss the tour. Suddenly Niranjan got  the call from the tour operator and they told us the location of bus. Finally we got the bus. .But hahalf of the excitement was already lost...

Then we started our second day journey of Scotland trip. It was raining out and the view was very beautiful out there. Our first stop was haunted hotel. It was just named as haunted but it wasn't actually haunted.  There were several mock bodies of animals kept there. There was also a very beautiful waterfall on the back side of hotel. We took several photos there. And then returned back to bus for continued journey. 

On the way driver told us interesting information about the lake there call lock ness. It was said that there is monster living in the lake. It was first seen around 800 years back and after that it was seen several times.  Last time it was seen around two years back.

Then we went to see the castle and had an awesome trip on cruise. We took loads of photos on the cruise. The cruise trip was best part of the journey of that day. The rain was also stopped and sun was shining.We enjoyed a lot on cruise.

After sometime, we started

 our return journey towards Glasgow. 

it took around 3 hours and around 7pm, we reached Glasgow. We went to Paddy's home,  took some rest and around 11in the night, took the bus for london. 

After a whole night journey, next day morning at 7am we reached London.  It was really awesome and memorable trip.
