Am considering going back to Aviemore during winter for some skiing. Switzerland is too expensive bleh.
Drove up to the skiing place - Caingorm Mountain
Took the tram up.
The tram coming down.
You can see a lake at the background. It was freezingggggg up there.
There’s a restaurant at the top.
View on the way down.
Stopped by this small town, Pitlochry for lunch.
Penang Bridge The Forth Road Bridge at Edinburgh. I swear it really looks like Penang Bridge. I showed a friend the picture and told him its Penang Bridge. He believed me haha.
I missssssssssssss Penang.
That’s The Forth Rail Bridge on the left.
Windmills
And of course, this trip is made possible by Google Maps.

Feeling soooo lazy to finish up the Scotland posts blah.
On the way to Inverness, we stopped by Urquhart Castle. Entrance fee was £7-8 I think.
Inverness.
The city centre.
Considered spending the night here but decided to continue driving after dinner and look for B & B along the way, which turned out to be a good decision coz we ended up in a town that has a ski resort.
The dining area of the B & B we stayed at Aviemore.
Full Scottish/English Breakfast. The black thing is the black pudding.
The other B&Bs along the road.
The B&B we stayed in. £30/night.
Went and explored the national park after breakfast.

I woke up today with half of my body aching and I thought I must have slept on the wrong side of the bed.
Then I realised I played badminton for a measly 20 minutes the day before. ARGH.
Crossing the bridge to err somewhere
Old Inverlochy Castle. The first thought that came to mind when I saw the entrance was, no way I’m paying the entrance fee to this place.
Turned out there are no entrance fees. Free!
On our way to Kyle of Lochalsh.
Eilean Donan Castle. It was closed by the time we got there.
Had dinner at this little restaurant at Broadford, Isle Of Skye. Apparently its an award winning restaurant.
View from outside the restaurant.
The B & B we stayed in at Portree. £35 a night. For some unknown reasons, almost all the B & B there were fully occupied.
Catching the ferry to Mallaig.
Fort Augustus. The Loch Ness. The monster’s name is Nessie haha. So girlish for a monster.
Loch Ness.
