Hiking in Scotland

So another trip over and it's time to blog :)

I spent 10 days in Scotland with Ania. What made the trip was the weather. We were both expecting typical Scottish weather but were greeted with day after day of blue skies. First was Glasgow...some site seeing, partying with university exchange students and preparing for the trip.
The next four days were spent trekking the West Highland Way, Scotland's most famous trek. Beautiful mountains (some with a little snow), wild hairy cows and great camping. After the trek, we based ourselves in Fort William, a small town in the highlands from which we spent a day visiting Loch Ness (no monster), climbing Ben Nevis (Britain's highest mountain) and day road trip to visit the Island of Skye. After all this good outdoorsy stuff we spend a couple days in Edinburgh which in my opinion is one of Europe's nicest cities. I also managed to eat some Haggis which is a typical Scottish dish made out of sheep's lungs...yummmmm.
