Scotland Day 2

5th September 2009

We departed from Glasgow Hotel in the morning to
Ne
vis Range. It is all seasons outdoor centre where you can ride the gondola, walk, shop, ski, snowboard, mountain bike or just simply relax…

Nevis Range is an all seasons attraction just north of Fort William, offering a scenic Gondola ride to 2150ft beside Ben Nevis. Enjoy the Snowgoose Mountain Restaurant and Bar, or stroll along the mountain footpaths to panoramic viewpoints. Excellent Mountain biking and a winter ski area with full facilities.

It was sad that the weather was still bad with rain at whole day. Consequently, we were not able to see the true beautiful scenery up there.

The wind was so strong that can blow you away if you are really light. A friend of mine, who is very light was nearly blown by the wind. A few of us had to hold her so that she could stay there.

The raindrops fell on our face were killing us. Thanks to the strength of the wind which blew them. To avoid from the raindrops, all we had to do was keeping our head down. We walked towards the end where we could see the cliff. At the end of this journey, we all got wet and our shoes were dirtied by mud because of the continuous rain.

Next, we headed to Loch Ness. Loch can be referred to as lake. Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highland extending for approximately 37 km (23 miles) southwest of Inverness. Its surface is 15.8 metres (52 ft) above sea level. Loch Ness is best known for the alleged sightings of the legendary Loch Ness Monster, also known as "Nessie".

That was all for our second day journey. We went back to our hotel in Inverness and had a really delicious dinner there.
