to continue my scattered ramblings... I got to take a pic of the viaduct that the hogwarts express takes on its journey to Hogwarts. This is as close as we could get.
Then we took (yet another) ferry ride. I was searching for land, you see. I think I found it. And the next is the view standing on the steps from our hotel room. Its hard being me.
I'm not sure if we've mentioned, but the roads are a bit... narrow. In fact, a LOT of them are single lanes with passing places. The first is the sign (duh), and the second is an example of how it works on a fairly good road where you can actually see who's coming. And us on a bus! It's pretty awesome.
Then... we went to Eilean Donan castle on the 12th. It's been in several films like: Highlander (whoop whoop!) and even in James Bond. We saw some pretty awesome sights there. I think Heidi has the whole story planned out, so I'll leave it to her. I'll just leave you with a few photos
The view from the front of the castle
This guy worked at the castle and let me hold his weapon and shield. I was going to behead him, but I showed mercy. Heidi did though, and he didn't seem too upset by it. What a nice guy.. a bit leggy too, eh?
Well that concludes my journey. For now. One of these days we'll all be caught up :/

Those shields don't look too protective...
Beautiful scenery. Wow.
Mmmmmmmm..... with legs like that, I see why the lad would have need of the weapon and shield! ;)
Great pix, keep 'em coming and continue to have a safe time.
Nice pics, I think that after having been on those extremely narrow roads, then seeing the castle I wouldn't be able to control myself from just shouting that there could be only one and trying to behead someone, which means to say you have tremendous restraint hehe.
Wow, those roads...*shakes head* It's worse than France and Spain! But still...I'd visit.
