I have this "Explorer Pass" for the buses and it allows me to travel for any 5 days out of 10 for free. It expires at the end of tomorrow, and I still had 2 day worth of travel left. I decided to do a whirlwind tour of scotland.
Left a large bag in Edinburgh at the hostels long term storage. Booked a bus to Aberdeen, made it to Aberdeen. Found out there was no accomodation in Aberdeen, Left Aberdeen. Booked a bus to Aviemore, made it to Aviemore. Found out there was no accomodation in Aviemore, waited at the bus stand only to find out the last bus from Aviemore has been cancelled.
10:45pm, Cold, Homeless, Tired.
I rang one hostel 3 times and visited them once before I found out about the bus problem. So I was in a dilly of a pickle. I put on my gloves, beanie and warm clothes then found a nice dark spot, pretty dry and rested my head on my towel. Just got settled in when my phone rang. It was the hostel I rang 3 times. He said someone cancelled last minute and there was a single room available for £15.
YOU BLOODY RIPPER!
Anyways, got up this morning and went to the tourist info center. They helped me book tickets to Portree for tonight and back to Edinburgh for tomorrow. I couldn't find any accomodation in Portree so I got of the bus in Kyleakin instead, because I found a hostel there. As soon as I got here chucked on my boots and went for a trek to the "castle", which is more like a few stones and a pillar. I got photos but this computer won't let me put them on.
Anywhats I best be off to bed because I gotta be up early to bugger off again. Seeya!

Hey babe,
That was a close call, even for you my nomadic one. So glad you got a bed and hope you don't encounter that too often.
Loving the blogs so keep them coming whenever you can.
Take care, enjoy and talk soon.
