Day 11: Aberdeen - Inverness


A relaxing day, through a slight mistake. Took the train to Inverness - much cheaper than Stirling - Aberdeen, oddly. Highlands not as high as I expected. Nevertheless, Inverness is really lovely. If their summer wasn't like our winter, I could certainly live here.
Found the hostel after much wandering and it's really lovely. Friendly cat.
Missed the bus to Loch Ness so wandered around town. Walked down the river, across forested Ness Islands and back. Everything is lovely.
Have the oddest dorm-mate ever; old Chinese man in room painting picture frames - he booked two beds, one to sleep on, one to lay out the drying frames. Doesn't speak a scrap of English. Very odd.
