From Stout to Scotland: My Travel Adventures!: A weekend in Inverness

Hello! This weekend was very exciting as a couple of us went to Inverness. Inverness is pretty well known for having the loch ness monster Nessie but the city also had a lot more to offer and see while we were there. A couple of us took an early bus Saturday to the Inverness bus station and checked into our nice hostel. We've been pretty lucky with hostels these last few weekends because they've been cheap, pretty central and no creepy room mates yet! *Lets keep our fingers crossed for that to continue* We decided to take a boat tour of the famous loch ness. The tour was 2.5 hours, about an hour on the water looking at beautiful Scotland sights which I loved and about an hour and a half at Urqhart castle, a very very old castle right on the coast. The tour was very sightful and I learned a lot about the history of loch ness.

After that we decided to go to an italian resturant for dinner with no shame. We've been here for a month and eaten pretty much only Scottish food (good and bad) and all four of us have a strong love for italian food so that was our resturant of choice. We then explored the city a little more and resorted back to our hostle for some down time aka....TV time. Such a luxary here to watch TV because in Scotland you have to have a TV license in order to own a tv, so this was a pretty big deal. After a good nights sleep, on Sunday we checked out some Museums, the St. Andrews cathedral. some city shopping and some other sights before heading back on the bus to Glasgow. It has been really nice going to smaller cities in Scotland to see really beautiful sights and get a true Scotland experince. Though I am really really getting used to the city life, I like the balance too. Next weekend I'll be off to Amsterdam! Here are some pictures from this weekend:
