UK Road Trip

UK road trip

First stop Glasgow.
So that’s it, I’m off didn`t plan anything don`t know where I am going to sleep, have no idea what I’m going to see. I`m off anyway. I took the bus at 23:45 from the Victoria coach station London, only cost me 25 pounds, and next stop Glasgow. Oh I have always dreamt of coming here to Scotland. I mean what’s not to love? The strange accent the kilts, god I want a kilt. And the people are kind of friendly.
I have to say though the bus ride was long, thank god I met Helen. She is a Scottish girl came down to London to see her sister who lives there now. There was no way to get any sleep on the coach the sits were so uncomfortable. Half way through our trip the bus stop to gave us a chance to stretch our legs, there she was. It wasn`t so much her that got my attention, she was standing there in the cold her plump body with a head of dyed red hair. It was what she was smoking. In her hand was a huge joint of marijuana.
Normally I would not ask someone I don`t know to smoke on their joint, but what the fuck I needed something to put me out so I could sleep. So I go up to her and ask, and by god she was more than willing to share. That’s the thing I’ve always said about weed, if you`re not abusing of it. Then smoking can be a very social thing and brings world together that you would think can never coexist together.
Anyway that got me well high and I only had like three puffs on it. I mean come on I don`t smoke that much. Went back to the bus, funny thing though for at list what seem to me like forty minutes to an hour, I was too high to sleep. Then it kicked, the smoothness, the calm and the euphoria, so good. There was a moment where there was complete calm on the bus; no one was talking, moving, zit. It was like as if everyone was in this meditative trance. I had to strain my ear to hear the wheels of the bus moving on the streets below us. And the rest was history.
The next time I opened my eye I was in Glasgow. Went to the star buck got a mocha, sent a few messages to see if anyone from couch surfing want to hang out. Looked up a few address on the internet. Namely a spa. It only cost like ten pounds, but I get a hot shower Jacuzzi and I can rest for a while before heating the streets again. And let’s face it that’s all I need right now, so I am not worrying much about a hotel room or where I am going to sleep. I`m sure I can deal with that when the moment arrives.
