Backpacking Trip: Day 36

Ok, so I woke up around 8:00am, and then got some coffee and walked down to Saucy Mary's Cafe to steal some wifi. Then around 9 our guide picked us up and we left the Isle of Skye and Kyleakin behind. We made another quick photo stop at the Eilean Donan Castle because it just looked too good to pass up when we were driving by. After another quick photo stop we did some more driving and stopped again at a small town that is famous for its well. I guess many hundreds of years ago there was a group of people who were beheaded and their bodies were thrown into the well, and ever since the well has become a very popular tourist spot. Our next stop was at Ben Nevis - the highest mountain in Great Britain. There were a few clouds so we couldn't actually see the top, but nevertheless it was still nice. From there we made the most exciting stop of the day at the Glen Finnan Viaduct (aka The Harry Potter Bridge). It also overlooked a really nice lake, so we had some really nice views. So now it was lunch time (actually past lunch time so I was impatiently hungry). I got some pasta and chicken nuggets for lunch in Ft. William, and walked around the town for a bit. After Ft. William we moved on and stopped in Glen Coe where there were some nice mountains and walking paths - except it started pouring rain so we didn't get much walking in, but we did manage to get a nice group photo. Since no day in Scotland is complete without a castle we had to make one last stop on our way to Oban at Dunstaffnage Castle. So we walked around the castle for a bit, climbed on the walls, and took some pictures before heading back to the bus. From here it was only 5 miles down the road to Oban. Once we got in I took a shower, and then we all went out for some really good fish and chips at the harbor. After dinner we all met up at a Scottish dancing place where live bands play. This was kinda crazy. I did manage to do some dancing, and it was pretty fun. Once I got back to the hostel afterward I was so tired that I could only post my pictures before falling asleep. Another really fun day in Scotland! See Ya!
