Most Beautiful Video
Of course I was still expecting snow but when I woke up on the morning of the 3rd day and suddenly
(the night before everything was still green) there was a pack of snow I thought it was very special.
Beautiful images!
Details
this day
1. Reading glasses
I have a simple list that I go through about 10 times before I go out. In the case of my phone, which is always off when I’m on the road, there is a small Noozy reading glasses by default. On the train, I found out that this was not the case, hence the odd dash to the right on the first day 😉. Sunday afternoon, looking for reading glasses in Newtonmore with the benefit of listening to NOS Sport!
(rest of the week, lovely!, no connection and the phone off)
2. New habits
Being in Glasgow feels like coming home.
The hotel, the route to the train station, the outdoor shop where I buy my last things before going on an adventure. In Inverness I had to find my way again which of course only makes an adventure more fun. Hotel is even closer to the train station and on the way there several outdoor stores!
3. Train ride
From / to Glasgow is also now standard by train, sometimes by bus. This was another new experience with new, and familiar, stops which also made it more fun.
