It's just like a book.
So after a 45 minute walk to the bus station from our hostel with our backpacks, because it was just easier than having to deal with public transportation, we boarded a bus to Perthe which then took us to Inverness then to Invergarry (which is in the middle of nowhere on Loch Ness). We arrived at our hostel only to have the manager know our name on the registration. Apparently, we are staying at a hostel that is full of a family and we're the only outsiders. One of the uncles has climbed about 238 mountains (or big hills) in Scotland and the whole family was here to celebrate with him. We talked with one of the nephews for a bit who recently had knee surgery and wasn't able to join the rest of the family on the last hike. The whole family was very welcoming and invited us to join them. They are part Irish part Scottish and quite a lively bunch. They gave us free dinner and drinks and insisted we join them. It has been pretty exciting and we got to talk to them about quite a bit. It has been a long day and I'm trying to get this up so that we can go to bed soon. I'll try and post more about the day tomorrow...if I remember....Oh, and while listening to the tv they were watching, a show called Little Britain came on and Anthony Stewart Head was a star on it, aka Giles from Buffy. It was awesome. More to come later.

That sounds sooo cool! What a neat way to experience those Scots! Did you have any haggis while in the highlands?
