A Less-Crowded, Cheaper Alternative Destination to London

<p>My trip to Edinburgh didn&rsquo;t start well. Only two hours before departing via bus from London, I realized I booked the wrong bus.</p> <p>I booked the bus leaving the following night. It was an overnight bus, so it was already getting late. Quickly, I asked if I could reserve another night in the hostel: no vacancy.</p> <p>I called to see if I could get a refund so that I could book the bus leaving in a few hours. It turns out, I was able to swap tickets and avoid inconvenience.</p> <p><strong>Lesson learned:</strong>&nbsp;never be afraid to ask questions.</p> <p>After a long, sleepless night on the bus, I reached Scotland. It&rsquo;s about a seven-hour bus ride from London.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/world-travelers-blog/a-less-crowded-cheaper-alternative-destination-to-london-fba2b4d38918"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
