easter holiday trip~!

Took me long enough to have this post up! been busy and also lazy to post up all the pic~!
I went to Inverness on 4th of april with feng wei. On the way there, we pass by glenfiddich factory! so mah went in and brought some alcohol for my mummy and also myself!! hehe~! too bad when we reach there that time the tour was over so only got to hang around the shop~!Haih!! Must go again!!!


By the time we reach Inverness is already dark, but still that didn't stop us from going out for a walk!! The night view is fantastic!!


Then the next day, we went around again~! This time to Inverness castle~hehehe~~ Copying the statue post..=P


Also went to Victorian market~like the shops there, very traditional feel...hehe~


We drive on to Lochness and met jessie,jennifer,wennie and also yu wing! so we together gether drive to Isle of Skye~! So much nicer with more ppl~!! At Lochness~~ hehe..too bad i didn't see any monster~~ haha~!! The view is so nice and the lake is so big!! If dun have the mountains it look like sea d~! A ruined castle at Lochness..I love the views...


From there we went to Eilean Donan Castle~ Is built on an island..the circulation inside is very good design~ when u are inside u wouldn't know which floor u are at cause the window are really small and there's stairs everywhere~ And is was raining heavily when we were there...ouch!! spoil the view only~!!wasted..haih..


We finally reach Portree around 5 something.. I found a really nice B&B to stay~ The living room is so nice and cozy!! and the view of the port is fantastic!!Must go back there again~!!


And for dinner we went a famous seafood diner to eat...haih...the seafood is really fresh and nice ge but the cooking style...haih wasted the good seafood~! i cook better~!!=P

On the last day of my trip, we went around the whole Isle of Skye~!! First stop, is kilt rock~!! Dam nice...is like heaven and earth border..


Also the waterfall to the sea...wah...fantastic~!!


And the mountains still covered with snow...totally breathtaking...i mean literally coz the wind was very strong until is hard to breath..i was nearly blown away!! haha~!


Dunvegan Castle...the biggest castle in Isle of Skye. Still occupied by its Lord.. but leh not worth my money coz didn't get to walk the whole castle..only the common rooms.. but leh the garden is really big and nice~!!


The garden even got its own waterfall~!!


The last stop is Cuilin mountains...seriously dam nice, the photo couldn't capture the feel of looking at the mountains...


No wonder isle of skye is picked to film harry potter...the scenery is just fantastic...too bad i didn't get to take the boat to see seals because of bad weather...haih...went there at wrong season..On our way back to Aberdeen we pass by Dundee to visit Frank. On the road we saw some deer, which are really rare sight by the road

and also the famous highland of Scotland...
