Whistle while you works:


January 26th 2014

So the Flat is overlooking the ocean, its a nice 2 bedroom place, with built in dishwasher/washer dryer etc.  and not to far from the office. Its decorated and set up like something from the Ikea display flood, speaking of floors it has heated floors so its always a pleasant temperature.







The first 2 days were spent in the office for 18 hours or so, each day, then finaly today i had my only bit of free time.
I work till around 2pm today, and then decided to go for a bit of a drive in the good weather we were having. The weather here is quite fleeting, and likes to change drastically every 30 minutes or so.. I wante to drive in the sun, and daylight so i could get more practice driving on the other side of the road..  Ryan had just been coming and picking me up so far.
I felt 100% on the road this time, and drove along the sea road, heading to a point that saw on the map,it was a nice drive, not to much traffic,  and some little villages along the way,  once i arrived at the point i hiked up to the top of a rock bluff and was greeted with an amazng view.  THe Wind was howling, but it wasnt raining so it was quite nice.   From that vantage point i saw another cool bluff overlooking a different bay so i went back to the car to find my way there. 






On the way there i encountered some off those Very thin 1 car only streets, and i still dont understand who has the right of way in them. I have his fear of going into a really long one, and then meeting someone in the middle and thn what. who has to back up..   Back in Canada we have lights and sencers that manage similar type situation..  On the way to the other lookout i saw a sign that said castle.. so i headed to check out this castle...




It was  a pretty run down castle that was closed to the public.. so i walked around it looking for a way in however it was all bared up.. LAME.   So i went back to the car and headed on my way to the other lookout.

It was even windery here so i left my hat in the car and hiked up a gavelt road. Turns out it was a coast guard look out thing built into the cliff.. 






  i explored a bit more before heading back to the apartment.

Have a meeting tonight, and then Monday its back to work at the UK office.

  1. DId you ever get the right of way stuff figured out? Those roads are all over Scotland too... it's crazy how narrow so many streets are, even in the cities.. people parking on both sides and barely enough room for one car but it's a two-way street. Glad you got some time to explore... awesome pictures. Be well brother!
