Becoming a VIKING in the HIGHLANDS

 
January entailed an exciting THREEpointFIVE hour bus journey to the enchanting Scottish highlands.  I ventured to Inverness to stay with my two lovely flat-mates!  Hoping for heaps of snow, traveling through Aviemore unfortunately there wasn't much snow to see... however thankful I was to being able to get through the mountains I did want to see SNOOOOOOOOOOOW... I arrived in Inverness, being greeted by three LOVELY ladies, and headed to Dingwall, a delightful town outside the city.

  We wined and dined in a local restaurant followed by a local pub and club experience!  The following day we feasted on pancakes and scones for breakfast before heading out for an adventure.  We were keen to hike up some HILLS it was called the 'The Cats Back' was the name of the mountain, though the misty wet rain pushed us onwards and outwards to a MASSIVE waterfall called 'Plodda Falls'. 
 We definitely got 'showered' that day…

After our whimpsical waterfall experience we travelled to my other friends country house in Aigas by Beauly. We had home made soup and cakes with freshly made raspberry jam and enjoyed a rom-com movie beside a log fire to wind down from a fresh forestry day.  The third and last day I walked round a bold beaver lake, the trees surrounding it did no longer resemble a pencil like shape; the water was so calm it looked like a forever old picture in a wooden frame.
  My last stop before heading on the mighty bus was the lady of lochs LOCH NESS. I prowled whilst standing on the pebble stones to loch for the monster itself.. Only a branch could resemble the monster but NO real sightings could be noted......
