It's raining again..which means i can't go jogging..which means i will get even fatter..

Just got off the phone with my ex-colleagues..they were out celebrating Ms Nike's(opps, nike's the name of her dog actually)3xth birthday..judging from all the noises in the background, they're definitely enjoying themselves..as they always have..though i'm not present, it feels good to know tat they're having a good time : )

Back to my highlands adventure..& in case any of u readers out there are as blur as Mrs Chua, i came back from Scotland last week liao..i'm just back-dating my blogs now since i din have the chance to log in then..

Saturday, 6 August 2005

Had a simple breakfast of instant oatmeal(realised the non-instant ones really tast a lot better) then it's time to set off again..

Hmm..today we had one more guide..Ewan..dunno how come he suddenly appeared today..was he supposed to be ard yest too? Anyway, he's just as good as Tony..very entertaining..can tok kok non-stop..i like..haha..

Off we go..more majestic highlands..more dramatic coastlines..it's a bit over-whelming actually..being right smacked in the middle of nature..

We stopped at this town called Portree & was told to pick up some food so tat we can enjoy a picnic lunch in this castle..& so i did..bought some pancakes(they're on offer mah) & grabbed an apple from the supermarket..

And about 12-ish, we reached the castle..actually 'ruins' is more like it, wif 70% of the structure gone.. picked a spot & started eating my pancakes..made some small talk to the 3 taiwan girls sitting nearby..one thing about this tour is..i can't really 'click' with the pple..other than the aunties & uncles..the rest of the ang mohs are mainly aussies & americans & they tend to stick among themselves..not tat i mind lah..but just thot it'd be nicer if everyone can click..like the hostel mates i met in Wales(oh..i think i forgot to blog about them..must really rem to do so..really great bunch of pple)

After lunch..we were given a choice..to stop at Loch Ness or to go for a seal/dolphin cruise. Most of us went for the latter option cos we're gonna to pass by Loch Ness on the way back to Edinburgh the next day anyway..

The cruise cost 5pounds each & lasted for about 1 hr..we did see a lot of seals but no luck in spotting dolphins(sorry, 0.5..i was all ready to take the photos for u)

Tonight, we stayed over in Inverness..it looks like quite a happening town but i wasn't too keen to venture out..was quite tired & beside, only the pubs will be opened at night..

One good thing about sharing a room with these ang mohs is..they will ALWAYS be out partying on friday/saturday nights..which mean i can almost have the room to myself at night while they're out painting the town red..

Another day has passed..one more day of highland remains..
