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.

Worlds greatest Island

2004-09-21 | Isle of Skye, United Kingdom

Last night I was reluctant of paying 18 pounds (36 bucks) for a day tour of Skye (because of the weather). This would of been a huge mistake if I would not have paid.

Our bus driver (Lou) was the best bus driver ever! So freaking hilarious. Our first stop was these hairy coos Scotland is so famous for. They smelled very grotesque but the view was magnificent. Then the most amazing thing happened. I could see a rain front come down a glen and then a full rainbow burst itself the width of the front. It was coming straight for us across the glen, then a second came on top of it. Once it hit us it was pure hail! It stopped a minute later and was the ABSOLUTE most beautiful thing I have ever seen (except Susan). All of what I saw today almost cant be described in words it was so beautiful. It was like in a movie and all of the scenery was from a fantasy world. Surely this is the most lush and fertile island on the whole

A Long Walk

2004-09-24 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom

When I woke up I immediately went to a free walking tour of the city. We went up and down the royal mile which is the heart of the city. Our guide spoke of how the city was built and also mentioned how people would throw their waste into the street even if there is someone standing there! The city used to be extremely unsanitary and the black plague hit the worst here.

He also showed us some of the buildings that are 200 years older than the US. Some of which they used to torture people accused of witch craft.

Another interesting place was the door where they used to nail someone's ear to if the seller sold an incorrect amount of sugar or something to someone. They might get like 8 hours nailed to the door. People could piss on them or throw rotten vegetables. Some who were impatient would rip part of their ear off which would be bad because people would trust them because they didn't finish their
