Well I can't be leaving the UK without first going to The Scottish Highlands in search of Nessie.
On the 11th of August, Chris, Brent and myself boarded a train up to Edinburgh in the peak of the Edinbugh Fringe festival, oh and I should mention to, Chris's birthday the next day.
The festival was great fun, and if only I had known how great it was I would of visted it years before. The buzz of all the people brought a really exciting atmosphere to an already beautiful city. The Edinburgh Fringe festival is the biggest of it's kind in the world, with a good couple hundred of venues showing film and theatre pretty much all day and night, ranging from the plain weird and very unknowns to very funny and maybe a little more well known such as The Goodies, which obviously was a must see. After trying to fit in as much theatre, drinking, dealing with wasp stings, celebrating birthdays, and catching up with old friends, the weekend finishes, and we say good-bye to Chris, Bernie and Wes who head back down to London to work.
We, as we are sweetly unemployed, board a Haggis adventure tour up into the Highlands and the Isle of Sky for a 3 day tour.
I found the Highlands to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. The Lochs, rolling mountains, animals, in all it's simplicity made it quite breath-taking. Dave our talented wee guide always in kilt was forever rattling off numerous stories and myths of Scottish history keeping the group always entertained. The group itself were an awesome bunch and I can say I don't think there are many times you can get a group of 19 in a tour all at the pub to the bitter end... but we did it... Sooo much fun. After 3 days, and no Nessie, we head back down to Edinburgh for the last couple of days of fringe and saying good-bye to tour peeps.
Then finally back down to London, with all the smelly clothes and shoes.
Summary of last couple of days.
