"FREEEEDOOOMMMM!!" part IV

Name that ^ movie. This one is much easier.

So like I said in my previous post, waking up at that hostel was not the best thing ever. In fact, it was pretty gross. But, I survived. We left the hostel and got back onto the coach.

The coach took us to the base of the William Wallace monument. William Wallace is the main scotsman in 'Braveheart'. So that was pretty cool. We hiked up a pretty steep hill. The view was so great. I love Scotland. I can't even describe how much I loved it. Then I went inside the monument and hiked up I think about 260 stairs to the very top. It was awesome. William Wallace is so cool! I got to see his sword, too. It was as tall as I am. Seriously. A five foot sword. How can you even use that? I really enjoyed visiting the monument and all of that.

William Wallace monument. I climbed about 260 stairs to get to the top!

William Wallace's sword! It was huge :)

Almost to the top of the monument ;)

In the process of getting up on their knees. I was struggling and kinda freaking out because I could figure out how to get up there. I'm not the tallest person in the world...

Blake, me and Ramzi. Their kilts were awesome! I got one similar to the one Blake is wearing for Travis :)

Holly and I at the top of Wallace Monument. Beautiful view of Stirling

We got back on the coach and took off back to Edinburgh to catch our train back to London. It was a bit of a bitter sweet drive. I love London, but I think Scotland will always have a big place in my heart. I really wish we could have stayed a lot longer.

The train ride back to London was LONG. We kept getting delayed and it ended up being like 7 hours. It was as long as the flight over here from Chicago. Crazy. I passed the time with cards, admiring the scenery out the window, reading, listening to Florence and the Machine and Hans Zimmer, eating and sleeping.

Scotland... how I love thee!
