The highlands!

May 27-29th my time was spent in the beautiful highlands in Scotland. We were apart of a 3 day bus tour through macbackpackers which is located out of Edinburgh. It was more time I would have liked to spend on the bus, and literally my knees were jammed into the seat infront of me, so it was more than uncomfortable. But it meant I got to share the mountains with the sheep and see breathtaking scenerary and climb a mountain and all that fun stuff.

We stayed at a hostile in the Isle of Skye which was where most of tour was based out of, it was in a really great area, not much there but it was really pretty. Sail boats, sunrises, mountains in the backround. There was a pub we went to called Saucy Marys, which our whole group went to for dinner which led to drinks and dancing at night. Dinner..wasn't great, drinks were! A few of the people went back but we stayed for a nother round as soon as DJ Double D came on and turned on the disco-like lights. We were just singing along to the songs, drinking and having a good time and I guess I thought it was necessary to bring it to the dance floor, so i went out and started a team shannon dance party. After the song (ET Katy Perry ofcourse) I sat back down, then right away the girls pointed to a new girl dancing on the floor and so I obvs had to join her. She asked why the girls were'nt dancing with me, she literally went to the table, grabbed Brittany by the waist and dragger her out of the table, it was pretttty unexpected, but hilarious. Then the other girls followed and we danced for a bit, and the asians were taking videos and pictures of us, kinda weird. But then I went n dragged one of the asian girls on the dance floor, after a lot of fight she joined us. We danced for a good bit. I Was drinking Strongbow cider all night, i think 2 or 3, and while I was dancing I just felt it rumbling in my stomach and was like umm I need to step outside to make sure I didnt vom. By then the other girls met me outside and we went back n fell asleep.

Here are some pictures of the trip!

this is the uncomfy bus.

This is the sunrise in Isle of Sky--this was right outside of the Hostel. I woke up early before the group to go rent a pair of big boots to wear hiking so my feet dont get soaked, and I saw this outside and ran back to get my camera, which I was happy about :)

Couple more from that early morning sunrise!

..annd a couple more!

this is The old man of Storr, its a big (well technically its not an actually mountain cause it doesnt meet the height cut off) but to me, it was a mountain, and we climbed it. At this point my 18mm lens was broken, so I couldnt get a whole shot of the mountain cause I didnt have a wide angle view, and my range was limited with my 55mm so this is a more up close shot

The hike up was so beautiful!

this is just me in the highlands around another place we hiked around

pretty rainbow <3 there were lots of rainbows because it would rain on and off a ton, then the sun would make a quick appearence, then itd rain again, and so on

This is LOCHNESS. Its a big lake, Loch means Lake, so technically you cant really say lake lochness. Bit its pretty well known around the world!

this is what a lot of our time there looked like, curvey, winding roads through the highlands, just a lot of pretty landscape. I really did love it here!

Overall I really enjoyed the highlands, I wish we spent less time on the bus, but we really did see a lot of sights. It was just so pretty there, and the highlands go for miles and miles, we drove for like 3 days and saw different parts of the highlands the whole time. I would deffinitly recommend it to anybody heading to Scotland :)
