Vacation Day 2- I'm Sadly Sick in Scotland

Hello all.  Today was really rather uneventful, aside from taking a train to Glasgow from Oban we did not do much else.  The reason for this sadly, is that I woke up feeling a bit sickly and as the day went on I got worse.  To be honest I think the sickness may have begun the day before, but I was ignoring it and it wasn't all that bad.  However this morning I was not feeling very well at all.  We began our day with some breakfast and then went over to the train station to catch our train to Glasgow.

The train ride was quite nice and had some pretty views, but mostly I slipped in and out of sleep the whole ride.  Once we arrived in Glasgow we first tried to find someone who could ship our bikes back to the States.  This turned out to be a futile endeavor and after a couple hours and after we had visited all the bike shops in the area we decided to just head to our overnight lodging and deal with the bikes in London.  

After checking in and getting squared away we headed out for lunch (mind you it was about 2:30 at this time). We went to a little pub and had some pretty good food.  By this point I was really struggling... So we went to a pharmacy, I got loaded up on some Sudafed and throat drops and we went to our lodging.  I then proceeded to pass out and just slept.

At 8:00 I woke up, and we went out to get some dinner.  We went and had some yummy curry.  Shortly after eating we came back and I again just went to bed.  I know I live a very exciting life.  It would appear that my body fought to keep going throughout the biking, but now that it is over and I think my body is getting some pay back.  I am writing this post the morning after Vacation Day 2 and I am feeling somewhat better, but still not quite all the way.  Hopefully after a day or two more I will be all recovered... Really I just hope I am all better in time for Iceland.  I apologize for another rather bland post and for the lack of photos.  I just realized that I did not take a single picture yesterday, I blame my cold.  Anyway that is all I have for now, so best wishes and until next time.
