Like Dominoes

We hopped on the bus from Newbold College to Bracknell, and then ran to the train from Bracknell to London. We made it just in time for the 6:32 PM train to Waterloo.

So how were there 5 extra people with me trying to make it to Scotland?

I told someone who told someone else, and like dominoes piled on the floor, each person convinced the other to go. So with 6 additions to the already confirmed group of 12 we pressed forward with only hope to get us on that bus to Glasgow.

I mean how many people really are trying to get to Glasgow, Scotland on a random Monday night anyway.

So we walked, I even ran a little and just about 3 hours later we were there. At the bus station that is.

"6 tickets to Glasgow please"

"FULL"

The lady wasn't helpful or sympathetic, she just showed us her screen stating that the last bus to Glasgow was full.

So we remained calm on the surface and gradually panicked within.

After little thinking and some pacing, I went back to a different counter. The guy seemed more friendly.

"Do you have anything out of London, we're kinda stuck here"

"Well where do you want to go?"

"I don't really know any cities but, anywhere close"

He pulled up Amsterdam on his screen. 13 hours and more pounds that I had to spare.
Next. Brussels. The bus had left 12 minutes before. Next. Edingburgh, the bus was full.

So we were stuck.

With spontaneity in our heart we made the impulsive decision to just book a hotel. We would be in London for the night.
