Be obscure clearly

hm… so I have about five minutes to write something and than it’s time for bed (3:29… ouch, nightportering again). What has happened in the mean time… so much!

I met Bas in Edinburgh, had some tea in the afternoon while he was showing off his new collection of Terry Pratchetts (yes! I’m jealous!) The next evening we had a cool night out in the royal mile inn, together with some of his colleages and I met Emily and Mady there again which was awesome. Sancia arrived on the 1st of September bravely ignoring her jetlag, Bas and I picked her up at the airport. we had a briliant baked potato and after that went for a little stroll around town. that evening we went to the Royal mile inn again where we also met up with Lynn, Mike and Ewen, who are all busdrivers for Macbackpackers, and there I also saw Kylie and Nicky again. Sancia and I had great fun watching Mike do his ‘spin the glass’ trick, which… of course… ended up falling to it’s death on the pubfloor (the glass, not mike).

the Next day we went from Edinburgh to Inverness, and then to Skye ( in an interesting way ) and meeting up with everyone here again was great. The next day Steve, Will, Sancia and I went hiking up at Sligachan, beside the waterfall. but because I have been having a huge cold ever since going to Edinburgh, I wasn’t able to walk all the way up the hill. It was a great walk though, and one of the sunniest days I’ve had on Skye. unfortunatly it was also the worst Midge (musquito)-day every so everyone was completely covered in musquito bites… the agony!!!
The next day we rented a car together with Will and Angus (from Edinburgh, I keep meeting him everywhere haha) and we went up to portree, Fairy glen and Kilt rock, which was briliant.

Wednesday it was Caleidh night again! so we went out to the local pub to do some traditional scottish dancing (which means hopping about). great fun

Thursday Sancia unfortunatly had to leave again… but those days was great, it was awesome to share that with you! everyone still talks about you up here haha!

ah… the days after that, we had some great evenings together with the two new girls from USA, Nicole and Kathy. sweetest girls, great fun! We said goodbye to Steve who is now on his way to Australia again. Tuesday morning I got up and Rich (the manager) asked me if I wanted to join him to take back a rented van to Fort William. He needed someone to stay awake, so yeah! of course!

We rode up to Fort William while the Glens were surrounded by beautiful sea mist. We tried to look for a tiny fairy forest (unsuccesful but oh well…) dipped our heads in one of the lochs (for luck and eternal beauty!) and arrived in Fort William after a beautiful trip. Rich had decided that we were going to take the train to Mallaig to take the ferry to Armadale and than the bus to Kyleakin. In the train we met up with some friends of Rich, with whom he travelled in Africa. They were great fun and we were able to pusuade them to come to Skye with us to listen to the great band that was playing that night in the pub next door.

The train ride was absolutely stunning… every part of it is… wow! fairytale like. It also passes the ‘Harry Potter’-bridge, which got all the biddies excited hehe… Rich and I had to punch eachother ever so often to keep awake though…
At Maillaig we had the greatest fish and chips I’ve ever eaten and then took the ferry and bus back home. that night we went to the pub to hear the band playing and it was AWESOME!!! apperantly they are really famous in Scotland. Did a lot of dancing, even had a dancing battle with one of the local fishermen, who was a brilliant dancer. good fun!

ah… that’s it for now folks… I miss you all!!! will see you again on the 20th! and then I have to look at plans for Barcelona…. maybe the 28th… maybe the week after that teehee… he misses me! cuteness..

not checking spelling because I’m lazy! woohoo!

cheers
