Crazy Bus

So after our epic adventure to Snodonia (ya that was the name of the place I told everyone that we were getting there by all holding hands, thinking happy thoughts, and stepping into a wardrobe), we had to take antoher night bus back to Edinburgh from London.

Well let me tell you this was the most incredible bus journey I've ever been on. It started out that we got prime back seats mine with ample feet space and Britt and Allie sharing the back bench. I didn't have anyone beside me and I really wanted to keep it that way so I spread my stuff out. the lady across the isle noticed and told me to pretend to sleep across the seats. She then proceeded to tell me everytime anyone was heading my way and when to close my eye etc. Excellent. I have gain a new friend- who had my six all the way.

So it was time to leave the station so the bus driver gets on the intercom. A Scottish fellow introduces himself and lays down the rules. I will try and use the exact wording that he did for full effect
Rule number 1: you must keep your shoes on- not because of safety issues, because some people have smelly feet and he doesn't want that on his bus.
Rule number 2: there are washrooms on board. Please use them with care. By that I mean no number 2's Please do not leave your luggage in the washroom.
Rule number 3: wear your seat belt at all times. Without it if I brake hard I'll break your spine hard.

I was obviously in hysterics after this- not only because bathroom humor is some of my favorite but because I was so overtired I was hallucinating. My laugh at this point had transformed into an old man wheeze- which I of course laughed harder at creating a vicious cycle.
He then came down the isle and handed out candy to every passenger. I was still in stitches so he proceeded to ask me if I was on medication.

The remainder of the bus trip basically consisted of the bus driver singling Britt out for breaking all the rules and getting in trouble (actually I don't think she broke rule number 2 but the other ones she got caught big time). He actually said "I don't know what you think this is some kind of Greyhound sleeper bus but on here you have to wear you seat belt". Excellent international bus system knowledge sir, a big touche to that.
