the highlanders' lowlessness

I know that 'lowlessness' is not even a word, but who cares.
eh, no, I should start to care, someone (or many of them) has been checking out my blog recently. Like seriously, I should be thankful for the stats counter of blogger.com. LOL.

So, this year, two starter days were fantastic. I spent the time with friends, eight of us. Only one is in a relationship, only one has no ID, and only one who's being ditched. It was a deadly fun trip. We started the day heedlessly by knowing that the two cars we were supposed to rent were no longer available. It ends with one car (instead of two) for 8 of us, can you imagine that? 7 seater for 8 people. two guys are 'big' and we really had to fit ourselves in that tiny vehicle. God bless Ford!

DAY (or night?) 1 - 31 Dec 2011
We cruised to Edinburgh, arrived at 18 local time and treated ourselves with Indian food together with other Indonesian friends. Not really good food, but yeah, good time though. We exchange the tickets to Hogmanay Street Festival. Gosh, the festival was awesomely crowded and cool. Breezy and windy night did not beat us! We took photos and definitely got lost until 1 AM. Slept in the car before heading to Glasgow the morning after. Hell yeah!!! EIGHT PEOPLE IN A SEVEN SEATER CAR!!!! Intimate?

DAY 2 - 1 Jan 2012
Glasgow, I bet it's not a silent city, it's just a new year's day that only McDonalds served us breakfast. Muffins, coffee and cards. Really good friends I was having. We laughed about last night and think of what to do that day; ended up nothing: we went straight to the hotel. Guess what? Our GPS was dead!!!! We had to struggle with all the Scottish accent when we asked the people about the direction where to get to our hotel. It took us like two hours in the street before finally arrived at the hotel. Uh oh.. not yet. we had 2 more hours before we can check in. That sucked! We decided to take a lunch in Burger King near the hotel, yeah! Another card games before we finally threw ourselves in our bedroom after bath! Called it a day!


                





DAY 3 - 2 Jan 2012
Loch Lomond, that was the first time I wanted to curse the weather for not being friendly. The beautiful Lake was shrink into a dark view of water pool surrounded by snowed mountains! Damn I really want to go back there with more sunshine! It was even raining! We spent like an hour in the cold lake then we ate another brunch in a small Little Chef, a nice place to eat and laugh. I love the simple pancakes and the weather, coldly nice there. Oh, dear Scotland, I bet you're sweeter on Summer. We then headed back to Edinburgh to visit Edinburgh Castle! Harry Potter rules! Beautiful scenery and amazing Camera Obscura! I love the game and the view! We ate dinner at Chinese Resto and ditched one of our friend with his parents there. I slept on the way back to Leeds peacefully, more room and space for my legs, LOL. Good time! Good new year!!
