In the footsteps of Prince William...

On Friday night we came up with this idea that we wanted to go somewhere on Saturday to see something else than Dundee...the problem was we didn't have any bus tickets. To get cheaper bus tickets in Scotland/UK, we have to buy them online at least 48 hrs before the take-off - so we better know in time what our plans are... difficult, we know ;)

All right, around 11 am on Saturday we set off towards Seagate bus station, and saw on the billboard that the first bus went to St. Andrew's - sounded fun, so we jumped on :)
We didn't have a clue on how long it was going to take to get there - if you check it up on the map it doesn't seem too far away, but still, it's no walking distance... For the first time we actually crossed the Tay Bridge and saw Dundee as a city from further away - it's actually not that small in the end, only the centre is.

The bus drove through smallsmall towns and villages, one smaller than the other. Through fields of hay and cows (with the countryside smell!) stopping along the way to pick up oldish people. About half an hour later we arrived in St. Andrew's - immediately we liked the town! As it was Saturday, the town was filled with people - students and senior citizens mostly - which was a bit surprising, it's supposed to be a small town/village... Anyway, we checked out the major sights - St. Andrew's Castle, the "harbor", St. Andrew's Cathedral, the Haunted Tower, St. Rule's Tower, The Church of St. Mary etc etc. We tried to spot Prince William, but unfortunately without any success (probably 'cause he's all ready graduated :D) - the university we saw though...everything seems to belong to the oldest University of Scotland...

We had a great time strolling around the city without any concern of what time it was. But we still have to get back there sometime, 'cause we didn't get to see the famous golf course!! Saving it for Jess' brother I s'pose ;)
Back in Dundee we decided to have a chill-evening - yupp, on a Saturday evening we stayed in!! What's happened to us?? :) Today is a new day though, who knows where we'll end up ;)
