Dark, Wet Hedges

Today was predicted to be 100% rain but Michael took me to Dark Hedges after making and serving breakfast (Ulster fry) to their guests, an older couple from CT). Catherine was working all day.

It had been so long since he had been there that he didn't know there was a parking lot (£5), a gift shop, restaurant and a 10 minute walk to the road with the beech trees he used to drive down.

We checked out the gift shop but the prices were high. £2.50 for a flimsy postcard!

We returned in the hard rain and Katie was finally up, watching Netflix. 

Me and Katie, who is not only very talented (plays and teaches harp, piano and violin and is fluent in Gaelic) but is also a natural blonde!

I'm rather dreading the boat ride this afternoon with this rain!

With good reason...it was delayed 3 hours because of high winds but was still very rough. I took out a plastic bag just in case but didn't have to use it, though it was damn close!

The other passengers were a gay couple, Liam and Lee, a Scotch man and an Englishman, and their well-behaved Labrador, Toby.  We had good craic* and I gave them my number for when they come to Seattle next year!

Day 2 of hiking trip

Image
Today we went on a long hike in the ancient woods of Glen Finglas with views of Loch Venacher. We expected rain so all of wore rain pants but the rain didn't come until late afternoon.  We walked for less than an hour in Callandar. I bought hand cream at a pharmacy and tea at a café.  Then we walked to Achray Farm serving homemade ice cream and coffee. There were many goats on this woman's farm but only one let us get close to her. I had lavender & chocolate ice cream. The owner is a retired clinical psychologist! We then went to Doune Castle,  made famous by Outlander and Monty Python,  but we were disappointed to hear they were closed for the day. We walked around the castle and the class clown knocked on the main door and almost fell down when a workman came out.  Group pic without Pauline and almost without me: Me, Gaelle, Stephanie (U.S.), Tess (Australia), Alistair (England), Stefan (Netherlands), Tate (Tess' brother, Australia)

First impressions

Image
I am here in Edinburgh as of an hour ago but I am exhausted,  having hardly slept in my aisle seat.  First impressions of this busy neighborhood near Sue from 5W: it's windy, cloudy, people are pretty friendly, don't order Mexican food (huevos rancheros at Heathrow was weird, with raw red onion), the Airlink was easy and luggage racks plentiful (versus our light rail that has space for 2 suitcases). There was a plastic container with cherry pits but generally I haven't seen much litter or graffiti after my half hour bus ride! I was worried because I hadn't made proper arrangements with Sue but then she emailed me (and hadn't seen my text nor email a half hour before I got hers!). I was even looking at cheap hotels. My eyes hurt and I'm wearing my glasses.

Money, money, money!

My head is spinning at how expensive everything is in Scotland (okay, I'm not there yet and buses and museums will probably be very cheap)! A private room in a "youth" hostel is $75/night! A hotel room is costing me $161 to $175! Divided by 2 people is not bad but for a solo traveler, it is very costly indeed.  Maybe I won't be eating out more than once every two or three days! A scone and tea for dinner? But it's not just me experiencing the solo traveler syndrome!
