Day 4

2004-09-16 | London,United StatesSo, this morning I checked out of my first hostel and I went directly to thetrain station at Kings Crossing and picked up a ticket for tomorrow toEdinburgh!!

My plan is to arrive and in the morning start this 3 day back packingtour in the highlands. This will certainly be a huge change of pace.

I really didn't do a whole lot today...I did have the most amazing fishand chips. I spent a lot of time visiting the national museum. Almosteveryday I am in these museums and I get very tired from the sleepingpattern change I am in. So yesterday and the day before I took naps on thenice leather couches. A lot of people do it, so you don't have to worry. Iwas safe.I was feeling a bit lonely too this day. I think it was because I was outon the city with no accommodation and no one to hang out with. I still needto get my feet wet with these kinds of feelings. But almost like someonesent for me I met someone in the museum from NYC and I

2004-09-17 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom I woke up and I said goodbye to my Israeli friends; gave them a postcard. The fire alarm woke me up today. I made it to the front desk just in time to get my 10 P deposit back.

Today I saw the amazing British museum. It had everything from all over the world and I especially liked the Parthenon Sculptures.

After that (I spent about two hours) I went into a tourist shop with cheesy gifts. I bought a pair of boxers that I will remember London the most. They say "Mind the Gap". That's what the subway says every time you leave to make sure everyone (even the dumb American tourists) gets off safe. After that I went back to the hostel and picked up my backpack and went on the internet. I tried loading all my pics and putting them on the internet but the connection seemed to refuse the pics. I was pissed. I lost two pounds.

After that I went to the train and had a nice long conversation with two very nice English people. This really helped with my

Romping Around in the Highlands

2004-09-18 | Inverness, United Kingdom

Today was the most amazing day of my entire trip thus far.

Last night when I arrived in Edinburgh, I got grabbed some fish and chips, talked to Dan and Mom back at home, settled in and then booked the macbackpackers tour right in the nick of time.

We left this morning and I was pretty tired, but Bill (the coolest guide ever) was really enthusiastic and fun.

We went from Edinburgh to our first destination in Potlochry, but before that we saw an amazing abbey along with this beautiful river. We saw the Edradour distillery which is the smallest and most primitive scotch distillery. We took a tour which would make Kirt proud.

But while driving through the highlands we stopped to drink scotch while entering into the borders from lower Scotland to the highlands. Standing here drinking a single malt listening to Scotlands national anthem and enjoying the view I realized how much I love hearing about the

Relaxing Sunday in Inverness

2004-09-19 | Inverness, United Kingdom It was a boring day

Come to find out they booked me for an extra day here and I didn't know it and they also didn't have a bed for me to come to tonight in the Isle of Skye.



All I did was hang out on the Ness Islands with some new friends from, yet again, Israel. We had great conversation and also stopped by some flower display. We went to the Great glen which overlooks Inverness. It was a little disappointing, but oh well the view was decent.

The real thing I wanted to update you guys on was I have uploaded some pictures. The url is here. Now I cant make a nice navigation so you have to edit the last three digits to a valid number. 001 through 142. With the exception of 98, 99 100 and 143 which are videos and need to be typed in 098.avi . Anyway see you guys later.

Good Scottish Weather

2004-09-20 | Inverness, United Kingdom

Today's weather was pure shit. The drive from Inverness wasn't very good at all. The driver had really bad jokes and just rambled. Luckily we only had him until noon with our jump on jump off tour of Scotland. On the way we stopped by a very beautiful waterfall. I thought it was funny how we were on this bridge at near capacity, so I got off.

Once we got to Kyle, the bus driver dropped us off in the worst rain and wind I have ever been in. My friend Gal was walking about and he freaked out a kid taking his driving test. The kid slammed on the brakes, which so happened to cause him to fail the test. Gal later found that out when he rode the same bus across the bridge to the Isle of Skye.

The bus driver dropped us off in the city across the way because the bridge is privately owned and it costs a bus 50 pounds to cross it!! It is ridiculous. Anyway, the whole day I relaxed in the hostel and spoke with
