My pleasure, Holly.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇬🇧💜💜💜💜💜💜👍. You did an excellent job!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Hi holly I just wanted to ask you about the Lasik surgery.. have you got it?
Love you 💕 💖
This is gonna be super fun! Can't wait for the next episodes
Was so excited for this !! Post notification squad !! Go beautiful holly !! I LOVE U !!
Nice vlog Holly! I am excited to see your next videos about your trip!
I’m getting closer and closer to having the courage to do a big solo travel trip. Thank you for inspiring me with all the stuff you do !!
ahhhh I am so excited for you!! 🤩🤩🤩
Have a wonderful trip in Scotland! Going on a coach and looking at the countryside in different nations is quite beautiful.
I have anxiety and am very introverted, very much like you actually. But your solo travels have given me the courage to seriously consider solo travelling one day too. Your coach experience and not wanting to say anything to the person who was in your seat was funny to me because it's the sort of thing I struggle with as well. Haha.
Coach rides are something else! I have been on a couple coach rides in the past because they are much cheaper than anything else and they are always an experience. They are never quite comfortable, there are so many people and the bathrooms ALWAYS smell horrible, but I enjoy being able to look outside and just take it a bit slower. Enjoy the journey to my destination. The longest journey I have been on was from NYC to Minneapolis, which took 25 hours in total. Completely drained me, but I would do it again.
Yes an experience on the coach , I have travelled London to Glasgow on one its ok if you have a spare seat to curl up across for a kip , could do with an extra stop for a break to stretch your legs , London to Belfast on a coach is certainly an experience (15 hours) but I enjoyed that better.
Another fantastic video Holly and hopefully you had a great time in Edinburgh. The food was yummy 😋. Raining is typical of Scotland and also enjoyed the bloopers at the end. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Holly.
The whole vlog was so awesome💗🥺💙
Towel suggestion, have a look at dock & bay towels. Quick drying, actually dry you, fold up really small & light, plus sand doesn’t stick to them. Highly recommend them 🙂 I love mine for travel
oooo thank you for this recommendation! I’ll check it out👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yes dock and bay are amazing. And they do a head towel which is great for curly girls as it’s microfibre material!
Helloooooo I loved how you are soo productive and I am like wow new travelling series yay ☺️☺️😁
Great video!! Can't wait for episode 2!
it’s in the pipeline 😉😉😉
A lovely video! It just popped up on my feed as a recommendation, probably because I subscribe to a lot of Scottish channels. Before Covid I used to do that overnight coach to Edinburgh twice a month, always with National Express. I would spend the day in Edinburgh and then return the following night - quite tiring! And boy did I sleep well on the return journey! However, I'm 6' tall so curling up across two seats is not an option. Believe me, I've tried! My recommendation would always be to get in line to board as soon as the departure time approaches so as to get a good seat. I have tried to book a seat when buying the ticket and have always been told that's not possible. Further, the seats directly behind the driver, on both sides of the aisle, are supposed to be kept for the second driver and passengers with mobility issues. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it very much! 👍😘
I once travelled on the overnight coach bus from Poland to France lol
I was waiting this blog video to be released yesterday and I was so excited for it but I am seeing the title the worst journey ever?😭 anyway I am busy now but I will watch it later ! Thanks holly for uploading this video for me I love all your videos no once I watched a video and it was bad !
Well done Holly. I did my first solo trip to Devon from Edinburgh this week 😃
I’m thinking of doing it in reverse to you! I live in Devon and I’m thinking of coming to Edinburgh!
Well done holly! I’ve taken the coach to London but not Edinburgh it’s on my list!
as I said, I definitely wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be!!!
always want to revisit Edinburgh! beautiful city! love Scotland! and i remember google map didn't quite work in Edinburgh... a city on the hill...
LOL when you suddenly remember you have a menstrual cup in, too real 😆such a fun vlog holly, I love your willingness to try new things! can't wait to "explore" edinburgh with you!! 💕
hahaha sometimes it comes as a shock 😂😂😂
i took the 24 hour bus from Vientiane to Hanoi for the lolz. It also had a crazy mountain border in the middle of nowhere to cross but it was so much fun as it was one big adventure and there were a few crazy backpackers with me to make it fun. In the UK i would have just took the train as i find them more relaxing and well connected but props to you for wanting to try a overnight bus.
omg I also did this basically for the lolz too 😂😂 so glad I’m not the only one!!!
@@HollyGabrielle i was literally just watching some vlogs of people doing the same the 24 hours vientiene to hanoi bus i took and its brings back memories and even though it was a long trip i was remember felling truly gratefull for the experience and the bus driver /company to providing it. So i'm suprised that your callling your trip the worst ever in the title as you said it was ok in the video. Kinda unfair on national express as they aren't a bad company and to the driver who spent 10 hour shift driving you up.
your video is full of life and power
Happy Saturday, Holly!😊😊😊😊😊. And I've been thinking. You look like Cher, the actress and a singer from the movie "Moonstruck" and "The Witches of Eastwick." WOW!!😍😍💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇬🇧💜💜💜💜💜👍. And have fun on the 4th of July in the UK!💙🇺🇸🌷🇬🇧💜🎇👍
You should check out the rest of Scotland too like Glasgow, the highlands etc :)
re the toilet with bags thing - I used to think that was bad until I had a baby in a pram or pushchair and just had to wee with the door open and the half of the pram in the cubicle...
Megabus is cheaper but so much worse than National Express. I got a Megabus from my hometown to London during university holidays for £5. It was 2 hours and that was enough. I think my packed lunch/dinner made by my mum was the only thing that made the journey less uncomfortable. Then London to my university city on National Express; a lot better but the price was a lot more. But it was 4 plus hours (I think 6 hours) so that explains the price a bit.
I always go home to ireland on rail sail or euro lines! I get the bus or train to Wales (holyhead) then get the ferry to dublin! Its so cheap and an adventure hahaha
I did that with my brother. We had a rental car and left it parked in Wales and went to Ireland for the day. Now I regret we didn’t take the car and do longer in Ireland
This was fun to watch!! I love Edinburgh 😊 I laughed at the coach station sign, though. They translated departures with "Abflüge" in German. Which would be correct... at an airport. Because "Flüge" means "flights" 😅
Currently drying to decide whether to do a solo trip to Edinburgh in august ( I live in Devon so would probably fly) but do I go for it??? I’ve never done a full solo trip before (I’ve flown solo but that was to see family so they met once I got off the plane)
@Hwp57 August in Edinburgh is Festival month so be prepared for crowds and everything being much more expensive, especially accommodation.
@@aprilsmith1166 thank you so much for this! I might rethink my destination and go back to Edinburgh another time
I took a 10+ hour overnight coach from Glasgow to London last month and it was hell 🥲 saved me over £120 compared to flying though 😅
I’m about to cry because last winter I made the same travel as you, from Central London to Scotland by bus and I also stayed at KickAss Hostel so a lot of memories came to my mind and I really would like to go back 😢
I’m from Mexico and I went to the UK for some months as part of a scholarship and I really miss that beautiful country 😪
Nice video,I hope you have a beautiful day
ayy she's back
Stay safe and enjoy
lsndan to edninburgh on lumo trains......pretty cheap.
why multiple pairs of trainers for 3 days and soooo much stuff?I can't do coach travel, I used to but just hate it now
❤️
all the best pretty lady.
Please close the fridge before doing anything, sry trigger to me - mommy issue 😂
It's the first video I see from this Scotland series from you, do you tell the traveling prices for the busses anywhere? I want to do a road trip through GB, Scotland and Ireland some day and don't know, if I take busses and trains or rent a car 🙂 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋🏻
💚
I’ve done the coach several times and I hate it. Was done when I was a broke student
I’ve done it once now and I won’t do it again … but at least I can say I’ve tried it 😉😉😉
I get a good discount on National Express traveled from County Durham to London return for £15.00
… wait how do you get a discount haha 😂😂
@@HollyGabrielle work discount I'm happy to share if you travel by national express again I'll get a voucher code and can send you it .
@@HollyGabrielle If you travel by coach regularly it would suit you to buy a Coachcard. They cost £10, last a year from purchase date and get you a third off your ticket price.
Nice
Edinburgh is pretty.
soooo so pretty!!!
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth.
Omg why did you take the coach? 🥴 So much better to take the train or fly. But I recommend driving, if you can make it a longer trip
I wanted to experience something different you know 😆😂
but tbh I don’t really know what was going through my mind when booking it 😂😂😂
@@HollyGabrielle I’ve done that overnight coach ride from Edinburgh back to London. Once was enough.
The train is great and only 5 hours. Driving takes forever but it’s such a beautiful country to explore off the beaten path.
Scotland is a great part of Britain. While the US, Ireland and India fought for independence Scotland were proud to be Britain. That's shows loyalty to stay connected to a backward. Joke
