Hi All, Today I went on a bus tour through the Highlands, the company was called Timberbush Tours (www.timberbush-tours.co.uk ) I went on the Lock NEss, Glencoe & The Scottish Highlands Tour. Our guide was very informative and funny - which passes the time during the slow spells. We left @ 8:30 AM and got back @ 9:00 PM. Nice way to kill a whole day. So there is so much that I learned today - most of it pertaining to Braveheart. I was the only one one the bus who had never seen this movie. At the next stop he name me Ms. America. One of only two Americans on the trip the other one was Ms. Is That So. She sat next to the bus driver and everytime he would tell us something she ... read more

Hi All, Ok, I am not really happy about this had a great detailed entry and when I hit submit it earased it all. SO LET ME DO THIS AGAIN. Today I caught the shuttle into downtown Edingburgh and started my city tour. Yes another open top bus, keep in mind I went farther up north. Yes IT WAS COLDER. It was raining and miserable weather. But it seems that the sun tends to come out in the afternoons. Or at least that has been my experice. So back to me with the freezing hands that were permently attached to the camera. But after about the first 10 - 15 minutes you just don't notice it. So it seems there is quite a colorfull past here between the witches, whiskey and the men. I had three ... read more

Hi All, Well yesterday was very quite - after a very crowed and uncomfortable night on a bus up here - I decided it was a day of rest. So I caught up on sleep (4 hour nap) .. lol and walked along the coast that the hostel is next to. It is going to take a little while for me to get up my next set of pics, they have a real class act at this hostel. Their are monitors and keyboards (several of them) but they are networked back to one server. So every station is like a dummy station - how it was before windows. Pretty slick - none one can screw this up. But on the flip side, it means no port to plug in my phone or cd rom. So it ... read more

After eight hour ride from London, we arrived in Edinburgh around 6:30 in the morning. As soon as we went out to the street of Edinburgh, we were approached by a weird old guy offering us place to stay. I would say go ahead and stayed over his place, but the Hardy boys were not so convinced. The guy, Mr. Gordon, cramped all three of us, and three other youngsters about our age into his little vehicle, and he drove to his home, supposed to be an unregistered hostel. A very good way to start our journey in Edinburgh. Other than Mr. Gordon approach, I was impressed with the city; almost every building we saw was made of stone, but so black and dirty. Mr. Gordon explained how the residue of decades of coal burning polluted ... read more
