Scotland


A post a day, keep my night away.
It is quite time consuming to post a blog
(due to my poor english and hope by doing so can improve my english standard :) )
This post will mainly talk bout the trip before I back to Malaysia. The itinerary is 5 days in scotland and back to Manchester for my graduation ceremony and then continue the trip to Italy for another 6 days.

Scotland

Before I start any trip, i need to pack my stuff and prepare to back Malaysia since I do not have enough time to pack my luggage when i back from Italy (Above are the 70% of my stuff)

And i threw away my Adidas sandal T_T , he follows me for almost 6 years already.. sob sob

I have to "allocate" him into the bin no matter what..
I think there is a chemical reaction going on which makes my feet itchy
Okay, enough with the packing.. lets wind the clock abit...

There we go, this is Uig, a small town in Isle of Skye, Scotland.

I snapped this photo outside the hostel. The weather is windy due to its location which is next to the sea. The population is small, around 300 and people there are friendly. Can't get much choice on the food since no much restaurant there (the shops there barely open T_T) and I have to climb down the slope to a mini store to get some bread, banana, instant mee .. etc .. etc . Although the distance to the mini store is kinda far (a bit further than my manchester hostel to ASDA), I still enjoy the walking since the air is fresh and the scenery is brilliant ( love walking and listening to my MP3 in cool weather ).

Above is one of the stream behind the hostel we stayed. The hostel is actually located at a hill (Uig is a highland in scotland and you can see lots of hills here). Me, brother and sister decided to climb up the hill and check out the little castle as stated in the map. (A hand drawn map by the hostel owner =.=)

After we climbed up the hill, it started to rain already and we struggled whether want to get back to the hostel or continue our journey to the castle..
At the end,
we went back to the hostel but we have some quick photo shooting at the edge of the hill, which is next to the sea. We have to avoid stepping on the bomb. The bomb here is actually sheep's shit. There are lots and lots and lots ... and lots ... and lots of sheep's shit on the highland.. we have to be very careful on every step we make. ( Anyway, most of the bombs are not fresh )
Oh yea.. there is 1 thing i wish to share with you all. My sister and brother told me, they heard the tour guide mentioning that those female mother sheeps will roll down from the hill after they gave birth to baby sheep because they do not have enough strenght to walk down the slope @_@
If anyone see this rolling sheep stunt before, please let me know! :D

I'm afraid I have to stop here.
Time is ticking and I wish to rest :p
Will continue my scotland and italy trip stories on another post.
