Megabust but a warm bed...finally!

This LONG travel day began with a strenuous run, mainly because my cold and asthma were acting up. I got up around 8am tonrun up part of Arthur's Seat that we had not hiked the day before. It was definitely one of my slower and shorter runs on the trip but had a great view in the middle and I felt a lot better at the end. After. Quick breakfast and hostel checkout, Ruth and I headed to the bus station from which we had arrived a few days prior. Unfortunately, the cheap Megabus was a Megabust, having none of the amenities we had seen online (wifi, plugs, clean/working restroom). Being that we are good travelers, we just made due with what little battery life we had on our phones, iPad, and Kindle while sleeping a lot of the 9 hour bus ride. Upon arrival, we were well rested and quickly navigated the tube in London to get to Warwick Avenue, where we met Crystal, a family friend we would be staying with in London. What a great woman and host she is with her two cute whippet dogs! She gave us access to laundry (my bag had started to stink hardcore), clean/warm bed, and even bubble water made with an awesome contraption...what more could we ask for after all we had been through in a week of backpacking?!
