Day 1 (7 Apr) in Scotland

Oh Yes, finally made it to Scotland, after more than 18 hours of flight. Feeling kinda exhausted right now, Wouldn't dare to take a short nap as I want to get rid of the jet lack effect ASAP. There is no direct flight from Singapore to Glasgow: have to transit at Dubai. Didn't sleep well in the plane either. Had a hard time at the Glasgow custom: been grilled with alot of questions (about my work, my financial status, etc).

David is there when I walk out of the airport. Told him that I should have bought my cigarette at Dubai airport if I knew that there is no duty free shop in Glasgow airport. From Glasgow it is going to be another 2+ hour drive to Fort William (where the hotel is located). Halfway, we had something light to eat and I managed to get my cigarette supply. 6.90 pound ($14.00) per pack, it is even more expensive than Singapore ($11.40). Hmm, guess it's time to cut down on my cigarette intake.

Scotland scenic view is awesome: many huge mountains made of rocks. I could still see some snow at some of the mountain tops. Understand from David that 2 weeks ago, the snow has started to melt and there are many heavy downpour. The weather yesterday & today are extremely good: cold (~11 degree) but sunny. The hotel is old but very cosy. I have wonderful seaview from my room. Understand from David that the sun set around 8pm. In Aug the day is even longer: sunrise around 5am and sunset at 10pm. The hotel will start operating this coming Saturday. Only left with a day to finish some maintenance work at the lobby area.

Hmm... time to go for dinner (after 9pm practically no food available) Will write more details about the hotel in the coming days in Scotland.

PS. Have tune the time according to that of Scotland.
