have a seat
Our sitting down holiday was fun though Tom and I found aches we never knew we could have after spending roughly 30 hours sitting on a mega bus. I have just realised it was only a 60 hour holiday so yeah you can work out how much time we had in Inverness.
The excitement actually started in London on Friday night when we ran into the Space invaders. We couldn’t work out what they were demonstrating for and I still don’t think I know.
Then to the mega bus and with our expert skills we got the best seat - front, top, right - and started eating picnic. On average, when it wasn’t dark, the view from the megabus looked like this:
You get to stop at Keele service station at 3am so we ate more picnic.
Then we woke up and ate our breakfast picnic.
Then we looked at Inverness for 30 hours and saw:
A spar in a hut with a tin roof.
A bridge, under which are supposed to flow seals and dolphins but we didn’t see any of those.
Then we got on the megabus again so just read the first part of this post backwards, but miss out the bit about the best seats and the Space Invaders.
So I think we are going to do it again but a top tip is to book two seats and an extra cost of £1 so you are able to walk when you get off the coach. I really ached and then I put my contact lenses in when I got back and got a crazy eye thing and ended up at the eye hospital. I don’t think I blame that bit on the megabus though.

did you get the prime seats on the way back? we had those seats coming back from london after our berlin holiday, but on the way to london the top deck was half full of filthy spanish punks (literaly), so all other passengers crammed in downstairs - we sat on the engine which was noisey and hot.

no we didn’t although i should point out that the regular seats on the long distance megabuses have much more legroom than regular megabuses.
and also, on the megaplushbus the front seats are extra plush, much more so than on the regular megabus.
they have cup holders and paper racks, for example.

…and they have loads of luggage space behind the seat. That was the cool thing.
