Eastern holiday - day 2 - part 2 - Kyleakin, Skye bridge

Hi,

It's only an half-hour drive to the Kyleakin, Skye bridge from the Eilean Donan Castle. The bridge is free, but you can also take the ferry to Isle of Skye. 1. Mallaig to Armadale: (tip: crossing 30min.) per person/car: £4.35/22.60. 2. Glenelg to Kylerhea: (crossing 5min.) car with four passengers: £14.

Another possibility is to take the bus in Glasgow to Portree or Uig,which takes 7/7.5 hours and cost you around £40.

Eastern holiday - part 4 - Oban

Hi there,

I've been posting about Oban before, remember: The Fish Temple & cheap backpackers hostel? However I thought it wearth it to mention it again.

Sights:
1. McCaig's Tower: "up the hill" - Looks like the Colosseum. Open 24h, it's a steep climb but the view is worth the effort. (during the night is lights up in purple)

2. Oban Distillery: tel: 01631 572004 - Stafford St. tour £7. Booking in advance is recommended!

3. Dunollie castle & 1745 house: adult/child - £3/free.

*Bahma Mama

When I was in Miami in February 2012, me and a friend made a one day trip to the Bahamas! We took a ferry for 80$, including food, drinks, a sightseeing tour and free cocktails in a Beach Bar. If your have the chance, you can even go for three days. Then you live on a boat comparable to an AIDA, and you visit different islands and have more luxury features on and off board. Unfortunately, this cost 250$ and was not affordable for us poor students. Anyway, it was a very good trip and I am proud to have the Bahamas stamp in my passport ;) xxx Heidi
