There was a beauty in this Monday, and it was a beauty of three parts. The first beauty was in the road to Skye. It was an obvious beauty, lying in the good quality street gently curving through the landscape. It lay in the breathtaking views that make this road even rival the A939 and ...

Aberdeen

No rain today and mostly sunny as I take the bike towards Aberdeen. Since my satnav does not want to navigate me via the A939 even though I placed some waypoints there I tried to use bicycle mode. However that leads me on some paths that are definitely unsuitable (and illegal) for my bike. So, ...

Castle Urquhart

Took the day off from riding and instead went on a little exploration tour on foot. Castle Urquhart is just around the corner (approx. 2 km from my apartment). The castle ruins were quite nice, although to be honest castle ruins all tend to look more or less the same. However, the visitor centre offered ...

Leaving Edinburgh took it's sweet time because of some roadworks, leading to a massive congestion. I did not visit Falkirk Wheel due to limited time: the detour would have increased the pure travel time to five hours, plus breaks. After having left Edinburgh the ETA had already climbed from 14:20 to 15:00. Since I had ...

Today was spent entirely on foot in Edinburgh for a total of four shows of Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Best of the West End was a one hour compilation of musical songs by a group of five and a (sometimes too loud, playback) piano. Good voices, the song from Spamalot was superb, but overall I sort ...

See sickness rose to 3/10, still manageable. Night was sickness free. Driving on the right (i. e. left) side of the road feels absolutely normal - probably instincts from Australia kicking back in. Brits sure do love roundabouts... Homesteads Roman forts on Hadrian's wall offered stunning views (and ruins of an old Roman fort): Quiz: ...

Writing this on Tuesday 19:15 Rain: brief, nearly hail, hurt through the motorcycle leathers Arrival at check-in in IJmuiden: 15:00 Start of check-in: 15:00 Forgotten items so far: belt (20.95 EUR), Nutella (priceless) Seasickness level: 1/10 (and reading a book is not a good idea) Next up: Tarzan at the onboard cinema
