Hello Sleepybare,
thx for your comment !!!!
Indeed, we are infected with Scotland. All three visits were full of unforgetable impressions with country and people. We return to the Highlands in the beginning of May for 12 days again.
Special on story in never forget ...
At our last trip in October we went with the ferry to the isle of aran. When we arrives at the harbour it was raining very, very strong and we thought about to make a stop overnight without driving anymore for this day.
Finally we did not stop and began discovering Aran in rain. It was unbelievable, noone on street, it was a little bit like the atmosphere in lord of the rings. But suddenly we saw a little village named Lagg with only 10 houses after driving more than 2 hours through the rain. Beside the houses there was a little countryhotel, named THe Lagg. It was looking nice, so we stoped. The Lagg was from 1782, very old, very scotish. We came in and my wife took our room. But I went directly to the bar. It was Friday afternoon, and all people of this small village were in the inn.
When I came in they observed me, looking very wet from the rain and one guy asked me: Why are you riding in this weather ?
I answered: Well we didn't find a good place to rest up we saw this little nice Village.
The whole people were laughing and the guy said: Come in, give him a wiskey.
That was the beginning of a wonderful evening/night.
We eate together, took drinks, talked about god and the world. We were in the group. We got invitations for tastings, visiting a cheesecompany ... and much more.
In the night at 3 O'clock we made pics of all people sitting on our Harleys, and it was raining !!! And we are singing: Standing in the rain.
With the people of this village we mail up today and we were ordered to come in May again, when we visit Scotland. But for shure on a Friday we have to come :-)
I hope, I can give you a little bit of our impressions, my English is not as goos as I would use to tell it like in my motherlanguage.
