Day 10- Stirling


  "We left our sweet castle-like hostel in Loch Lomand and drove to Stirling. We explored the castle for a few hours- there was the cutest little tour guide- he was so enthusiastic and totally Scottish! The castle was just massive and cool. It rained off and on but was still beautiful. We went to the Wallace Monument and I was very happy to see William Wallace's sword! It was big and old and awesome. We walked up 246 stairs to the top and then I totally panicked and laid down on the floor at the very top and cried. Seriously. I was petrified!"

 We drove on to Carluke to repack our stuff and then head to the airport in Prestick. We were supposed to see Gilly at Lesley's but she called and her dad had taken a turn for the worse. It was so sad to hear her voice and know that she was so close and struggling but we had to catch our flight and leave Scotland. That was really tough for me. We arrived in Dublin after a somewhat odd, quick and turbulent flight.

  "Found a bus to take us near our hostel. Got to Litton Lane near midnight and immediately felt creeped out. We got to our room and everyone was sleeping and stuff was all over and I couldn't even hardly get to my bed (upper bunk) because the girl below me had her stuff all over. She also took my pillow so I had to sleep on my fleece. Grr...it was loud and we had a girl snore loudly and obnoxiously. I hardly slept at all for the noise and girls coming in and out at all hours. This is a party hostel in a party part of town. Yikes!"
