Well its been a fun couple of days for me and chuck. We are really getting to see a lot of the countryside, and the varying landscapes are at times breathtaking. Journeying north from Perth to Inverness you go through densly wooded mountains, it all looks a bit Canadian to me. There we went to Blair Castle, it was quite a good setup with lots of old furniture, weaponry and storyline. Today I continued up to Inverness which is through the Highlands, after the fo...

Today I took charge of a car, which I named Chuck. Chuck and me dont get along all the time, she doesnt start for me all the time, she doesnt care for me riding her clutch. But me and Chuck will sort things out. After picking Chuck up from Edinburgh airport, we hit the road.

Flying sucks. So does making fullproof plans regarding transport from Heathrow to Kings X via the tube, to then find out @ the station that the tube is undergoing maintenance and ur plans are shot!! I also didnt like that it was 33 degrees at midnight in Abu Dhabi and I felt cold inside the airport... And I cant sleep on planes, so right now im ready for bed. Its only 4 pm but im out,the two pints of ESB i just polished off should help. But, on the plus side....
