Post-Road Trip

After about 500 miles of travelling in the past 2 days, its nice to be back in my room, no matter the smell and everything that I hate about it.

Roughly our journey in TWO DAYS!

On friday night, me and Edwin awaited the arrival of Kenny, Jun De and Rina who came from Glasgow where they are having their exchange. They came around 1am and bunk in with us in our ghetto.

Revelie was at 7am and after some breadfast we were on our way to our first destination: Inverness!

Vehicle Commander Kenny Low and Driver Jun De

Parkour at Inverness Castle!

Posing like the statue at Inverness Castle!

It was just a short stop at Inverness for an hour and after taking some pictures we were on our way again!
Loch Ness here we come!!!

We searched for Nessie and we found it! I have to admit that I was one of the people who don't believe that there is nessie but there it was right in front of our eyes and boy it was majestic. It was too huge to come to shore and only the baby Nessie could come near. I really wanted to have a ride on Nessie and tried to swim to it but alas it was too fast and the loch too cold for me to swim to it. Oh well, at least one of life's greatest mystery has been solved!

We first spotted nessie along the river crusing peacefully.

I went down to the banks of the loch and was speaking with one of its babies.

Nough said.

Even though it didn't let me have a ride on its back it was nice for it to come and say hello to us. BYE NESSIE!!

Next we went through the Loch Ness to reach Fort Argusta and Fort William. We didn't stop at these towns but stopped at some random part along the road that had really nice scenery and was also one of the highest place around. Took a walk around and did crazy stuff for camwhoring purpose!

We then drove on to Glencoe Mountain where we stayed at a youth hostel that was near the Glencoe Ski Centre.

A random place.

Our car!!!

Sorry Guys! My bowels are too weak!

Jun De and Rina who went off walking without locking the car, leaving the three of us to protect the car. Hmm wonder what was their ulterior motive....

We pass by Ben Nevis Distillery which was close but the whisky smell was so STRONG!

Edwin trying to drink some whisky here..

The next morning, the 5 kiasu Singaporeans went to the ski centre at 8am when it opens at 830am. We ate some breadfast again and did our business before the ski centre opened and up up here we go on the chair lift.

We only bought the beginner pass that only allow us to use the access chair and the rope tow that was a very lousy and tiring way (on us) to bring us up the beginner slope. In fact, they do not really check if we use the other lifts which Edwin and Jun De tried. The rest of us didn't had time to try (or I would say BOJIO!) as we had to leave by 130pm to go back to glasgow to return the call by 5pm.

Skiing on real snow is really different and MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE FUNNNNN!!!!!!
The slopes were longer even on the beginner ones and it was just so exciting to go down the slope at speed and try to control your descent by turning. Even though I fell lots of times and my knees hurt after that, it was like my ski instructor like to say 'SUPERB'

Approaching Glencoe Mountain in the misty morning

Reached the base of the Glencoe Ski Centre. And we are one of the first!

Log Cabins! So cute!

The Plateau Cafe where people rest after skiing!

Camwhoring moment!

The sky cleared up when we went down in the afternoon for this awesome shot!

When we reached glasgow, we dropped off Rina and went to return the car before walking for like 2 hours before we reached the city centre and ate buffet at CHINA BUFFET KING!!!

We were so hungry and tired after a long day and not eating much other than some bread for both breakfast and lunch so we really whack the food at the buffet (I said I could eat a Dinosaur) until we were stuffed. Then it was finally time for goodbye as me and Edwin parted with Kenny and Jun De (who was in the toilet clearing space for another round of buffet when we left) and took the train back to Aberdeen where we walked (again) back to hillhead.

I really ate everything except the fried rice which were disgusting and I shared the cake with Edwin. Pictures of Icecream and fruits not shown too.

Hit the sack immediately when we reach. Didn't shower as my shower was still spoilt. Yucks. Haha.
