Back to Normality!
Filed Under Daily, Hiking, Nikon D200
After two really nice weekends, here I am! Back to my every day routine. The trip to Glencoe in Scotland was very nice. It allowed me to see Scotland for the first time and on our way, I had a glimpse of Glascow. It reminded me of my trips to the Niagara Falls with my flatmates in the US. It is very adventurous to go away like this with few fellas. We did not have much time checking around and taking nice photos of the scenery. The weather was a bit cloudy, windy and rainy on Saturday. It was much better on Sunday but then we had little time left and we had to leave our very nice cottage by 10 am on Sunday morning. I had good laughs with everyone. I doubt I will ever have a chance to do it again but who knows. The people I was with were more down to Earth and ready to do hardcore climbing stuffs whereas I am more into sightseeing and photography. I would not picture myself carrying tons of climbing gears and making a snowhole to sleep in overnight. They were! I am also quiting the Hiking Club because I have seen everything I wanted and I do not want to spend 12 hours every Sunday to take the same kind of photos. That will obviously lower my chance of making friends with nice people and to go away with them like this. I am sure Dave M. will always send me an email if there is an opportunity. He is the kind of person who would get along with everyone. He even suggested the possibility of me sleeping in Dave E.’s car for the club’s trip but he understood that I am really into my comfort. I think they enjoyed my company as I enjoyed theirs.
Amy is away which is why it is very quiet since I came back. I think she is in London this week and then she has a trip to Edinburgh next week. Quiet it shall be then! I had a painful swim this morning. I tried to keep the same speed but my body was really sore. It was getting much better in the end. I thought I would stop in the middle.
