sticky toffee pudding #01

i just got back from a 4 day trip! yay.

1st night - well the start of the journey anyway

left london for edinburgh by coach on friday night ~2230hrs... we actually thought we were there 30 min early but then realised we were at the wrong coach terminal and had to walk a little more to the right one =P. coach ride... was a coach ride... bumpy & un-sleep-able. what was interesting about it was me falling asleep in the first hour and waking up to di song, wei chao and wenyuan sharing life stories on the ride (the 'bao-bao brothers'). and in trying to listen in openly... everyone sensed the 'gossipy air' (wenyuan's fault actually) and tried to listen in too. lol. we ended up talking about religion and christianity. [of the coach ride ppl only di song and i are christian] it was interesting. i mainly shut up and listened to them dispute christianity on the basis that it's borne of faith. one day i shall have a good God-inspired argument to refute that, amen.

somehow managed to fall asleep at some point... and woke up to green pastures and a sunrise. it was exactly what you would see in paintings or those unreal photos of red yellow orange purple skies streaked with thin clouds... and rolling mountains. beautiful.

after a few false starts (stops rather) we reached the edinburgh bus terminus safely. took a slow walk to the hostel we would be staying the night at... with much phototaking and shivering (it must have been 4 deg or lower i think.) along the way =P



more details tmr... must pack and sleep =P but it was fun.. and i really saw God's hand in a lot of things =)... some really unexpected setbacks in planning, but all things work for good.
