This weekend I went up to Andy’s cabin to go snowboarding! It was a nice and cozy and his parents told us funny stories, with their heavy accents mainly about “granny.”
In the morning, we had a typical Scottish breakfast of poorage and bacon-rolls, then headed up to ‘the mountain’ (more like a hill). Now that it was daylight, we could enjoy the gorgeous views of the highlands and snow.
The main difference of the day was the tram/train thing that took up to the top of ‘the mountain.’ It was like a roller coaster because at times you couldn’t see where it was going next! It was a good system, except there were no seats. We all crammed in and held our boards and ski’s in front of us. I did not realize how nice chair lifts are because you get to sit down and get a break. I was even more exhausted than I usually am after a long day boarding!
On my way up I had mentioned how fun it would be to drive “on the other side of the road.”
Now, I got my chance to drive when we went from the cabin to the pub (because the guys just had to watch the rugby game, haha). It was quite the experience. You wouldn’t think it was that hard… just do everything opposite because they don’t drive on the right side of the road… they drive on the left! Overall it went fine. I didn’t smash the tiny little car or anything. It just felt weird driving on the left side of the road and being able to turn left on a red (instead of right on red).
