Yes, you have to pay to go to the bathroom in Glasgow!

Hey, Mom emailed us again! All grammar and such is preserved. :P

Hi Kids,

Last night was the first time ever that I have enough sleep since we left Vancouver. We were in Gasgow yesterday and was raining heavily most of the time so we join the hop on hop off bus and just go round and round for 2 times. The scotish accent was so difficult anyway so we didn't mind the repeating and we actually after two rounds may be understand 60% of what the tour guys says. One more funny thing we had to take a train into Gasgow and everybody wants to go to the bathroom after the 45 minutes trainride, and we found out we have to pay 30 pences in order to go, so everyone back out except Molly who cannot wait. It was a sight to see all the men and women digging into their pockets and purses to find the exact changes!

To day is the only sea day and I am surprised not too many people in the computer room. Yesterday I bought a UK made Manchester money bank with Rhinado's picture on it. I hope Step would like it. So far haven't see any Manchester or England jersey yet, may be when we are at London we will be able to buy one. Today there's a sale going on board and I bought a green watch for Harmony and a blue watch for Leslie. They are both fancy bracelet style watches so it's very easy to put on.

We check the Giddledish (wrong spelling) in Scotland yesterday and they were selling at 31 pounds that means around $60 Canadian for the 1 lt. So I bought the one on broad for $35 US and I got 10% off because they just changes the buy 3 bottles get 10% off into buy 2 bottles get 10% off. I had the other bottle spiced rum for cooking. So $31.50 US for a 12 year Giddledish is a very good buy indeed.

*personal stuff redacted*

Such a long e-mail but I don't think there will be anytime in the next couple of days that we will have so much time on our hands.

Love,

Mom & Dad
