From Deen to Fort William



Drumroll please!!!!!! My first ever travel blog! Tattadaa!!!! So, I went to a weekend away with the Nordic society to Fort William and it was just awesome. The scenery was breathtaking as you can see from the photos, but you have to see it yourself if you have the chance to do so. Then you can understand the real beauty of the Highlands and smell the ever so fresh mountain air.
Ben Nevis was so beautiful. Although I wasn't able to climb on it. We were already soaking wet when we reached the root of the mountain, but I crossed over a very "challenging" bridge. It was like you were walking on a piece of string. As you can see on the photo. It wasn't any child's play....






At the hostel we had a lovely dinner and time to dry up. It was sooooo much fun to cook food for a fairly massive group and in a great company. 
We also had some "warming up" drinks and a few more for the health... 

In the next morning it was time to head back home, but not forgetting to stop along the way to enjoy the amazing scenery. We stopped to see the famous Harry Potter bridge and yes, it is in Scotland. Not in England or in Wales, people!


  
We also had lunch at the famous fish and chips place in Aviemore. For the first time in my life I ate a deep fried Mars bar and I have to say it was pretty good. I wish I had a photo of it, but it was gone in a matter of seconds. 
I was really glad that after the meal, it was time to sit in the car again and continue the journey home because I couldn't have walked a single meter. It was definitely a 'heart attack' meal that can't be eaten too many times. I don't regret it, but it was really good that I went to the gym the next day.... 

I'm soooo glad that I went on the trip and it was worth every single penny. I was definitely in need of a break from Uni and definitely deserved it. I had so much fun and let's not forget the amazing scenery... Now, it's time to work and study hard again that I will graduate in the summer with honors! See ya soon guys and Carpe diem.
