Trotting the globe
Bali Day 3
Finally continuing my Bali journey day 3 
Procrastinator for life yo. Final day in Ubud and it’s time to venture deeper into the northern side of Bali before ending our day at Febris Hotel and Spa Kuta. I’m trying out this new plugin where the photos are group toget
#1 Tegallalang Rice Terrace – this was really a touch and go stop as it was drizzling all the time. For me, I’ve seen these sort of plantation few times along the highway JKT-Bandung.
#2 Very persistent sales girl… 1dollar..1dollar..postcard..1dollar…cheeseee
# 3 The Mother Temple of Besakih which is magnificent. So many pagoda
#4 some corn and coconut snack that Gisele bought. Yummy!
#5 Babi Guling at the ever famous Ibu Oka. The original one sold out by the time we were there so we had the crispy skin instead which was delicious. I would love to have it again. *look past my shoulder and you’ll see interesting souvenirs”
#6 Absolutely one of my tourist spot by far in Bali, Uluwatu. I think the view here are breathtaking.
#7 Uluwatu and spoiled, fat monkeys comes hand in hand.
#8 The monkeys are damn naughty and cheeky too! They’ll stalk and steal/snatch anything possible from you in exchange for a snack.
We witnessed a stubborn Japanese handphone been thrown around like a rag doll. Haha!
#9 Indulged in a little touristy activity. Kecak kecak kecak kecak dance. Watching the tradition against the cliff and the temple as a background. Couldn’t be better
#10 Our rooms at Febris’s for around RM200 with very yummy american breakfast. We purposely wake up to whack the breakfast and goes back to sleep…
#11 Mr Rai, Best guide in Bali. He speaks fluent English and German, very knowledgeable and friendly! Reasonably rates and he doesnt charge extra when we pass the 8hours mark. Since he’s a member of the photography club in bali, obviously he can bring you to the best spot to take photos and help take good photos for memories! I remember the times when I’m in europe where friendly old gentlemen will offer to take “masterpiece/magnificent/perfecto” photos and turns out to be super blur =__=||
My friends and me strongly recommend him to anyone! You can book him at http://balipersonaltour.com/
The next 2 days in Bali are spend in Kuta filled with excitement on the streets and tales to be told for a long time..
Scotland Final Day.
Our leftover food supply after 4 days. Imagine the amount we brought along before this 
The steel peacock at Glasgow highstreet. It’s like shopping heaven here..muahaha..that’s before i went to Cheshire Oak.
In the carpark, bidding farewell ady.
The giants and the our small fish. Hahah..
They say he looks like WuChun…
ah Hup..this sarcastic and funny fella that makes us all laugh so hard. Miss him so much af
ter we all went back to sheffield.
My coursemates that cooked dinner for us when we reached Sheffield. So nice of them, miss them so much T____________T
That ends my Scotland Road tRip.
FINALLY!!
Next …Liverpool, Merdeka, London and Spain & Portugal!!!!!!!!!!!!!Scotland Day 3
Sounds disgusting alright, but surprisingly it tasted real good. With the white sauce, it tasted something like cheese and ham with small bites. Then we headed to Tomatin whiskey distilleries for some whiskey tasting.
Fort William is the next destination, and watching the Jacobite Steam Train was the goal, but we were late by 15minutes or so i think.
To most people, the jacobite steamtrain is Hogwarts Express from Harry Potter movie. To get the best view, we need to hike up a small hill. but it was well worth it. Anyway, the railway tracks is at GlenFinnan and the place was amazingly beautiful!!!
The view from the small hill overlooking some loch and GlenFinnan.
This is our whole road trip group. First Car – Vauxhall Astra, our girls car Piccanto and the oil-drinking Vauxhall Meriva. Doing what we always do during the whole journey. Looking at map, use MrTomTom for direction, talking, eating and sleeping.
From there, we continue on our journey to Glasgow for the last night. On the way, we passes the rocky terrains of Scottish higlands. We saw the 5 sisters, Ben Nevis (the highest peak on Britain) and the gorgeous GlenCoe. Contrasting to the beauty and peaceful feeling that it may send out, a huge massacre actually happened there before. Anyway, it was so beautiful just driving passed it makes all 3 cars stop simultaneously without communicating to each other on the roadside just to take photos. hEhe….
To be continued….Scotland Day 2 – Isle of Skye
Somemore Ang seems to have blogged everything about London and blog till so outstanding, meaningless i blog now..hahahah
*************
The second day on Scotland, was mostly spend on Isle of Skye. The place that most people would say is the essence of scotland. The most beautiful part of it. Awesome view, breathtaking scenery, majestic mountain range – The Cuilin.
I couldn’t agree more.
Skye is a small island with amazing mountains panoramas peppered with plenty of Loch (lake in Gaelic) and fishing villages and farms.
The place we stay at Kyle of Kyleakin, is a backpackers inn and i was surprise how clean and comfortable the place is. I always have an impression that backpackers place will be dingy and dirty. I was so wrong. And the first night, the moment my head hit the pillow, i immediately died till the next morning.
The blue caravan that some of us slept in, the room, the kitchen and living room. Some travel advise for those backpackers is to bring extension cord, as normally the electric plug is shared with everyone and limited. and Tripod is ur best-camwhoring-friend.
Early next morning, we set off to explore the Isle!! Behind us is Skye Bridge. Unfortunately for us, it rained the entire day. And it was so freezing cold! So cold so cold. Never been that cold my entire life
On the way to find Kilt Rock Waterfall, the most amazing scenery of all time, we saw alot of blur sheeps and furry cows. Hohoho. so bodoh looking each one. They were all marked with some color on their back. Then…
Me: Eh, you see that one red color one..
Hup: Ya, bulleyes to shoot it and bbq …
Me: ………………….
Someone: Nolah…datang period, forgot to clean
Me: -_________________-
Finally we got to Kilt Rock Waterfall. In chinese its called UK 天涯. So hard to find ok. But damn worth it. Was so reluctant to get down from the car because of the rain and wind and cold. Freeeezing. But see the beauty of it…
No photographs can do justice for the beauty of that place. We took photos until we couldn’t stand the cold any longer. hahah…
Umbrellas and rain jacket doesn’t help at all and many brollies died along the road trip. That WX, guy in green buat macho not scared of cold only. hahah..
A short video to show u HOW STRONG the damn wind was! click yah..
Finally me.
After that we stop by Portree, the main town of Skye where people can just park their dog and go shopping. I found this jack Russell pup, whimpering all the time trying to look for its owner.
Off to Urquhart Castle after Skye. I snack so much on the trip that a friend ask me if my hobby are sleeping and eating =.=
The Castle and Loch Ness!!! You’ll wouldn’t believe that i was very obsessed with the myth when i was much younger. I read up alot about it and it was one of my dream to actually go see the lake. Still couldn’t believe i actually did went and see for myself the lake. Dream came true! 
)
At the Loch Ness information center. With a fake nessie obviously
and William Wallace. Apparently out of the 14 of us, only I know who is William Wallace. I was a a freak at watching Braveheart. Favorite all time movie. Funny thing is that, all Braveheart portrait and souvenirs share a striking resemblance to Mel Gibson. ahaHahaha
After that we continue on our journey up north towards Innverness for dinner and Lossiemouth to sleep in the car.
The time where we wash up in Tesco’s washroom will always be remembered.
Scotland Day 1
It has been a sombre day for many of us tarc student. Since last night, many from the first batch has left the accommodation. Some called and say their goodbyes, some left messages on msn and friendster. Altogether it was a really sad days. Friends parting ways are one of the toughest time, whats more when we all know that we might not even see each other again for the rest of our life :( :( :(

Enlarge photos by clicking on it!
After a previous failed attempt on this roadtrip, we finally set off at 1230AM on the 16th and reach Edinburgh city center at 5am. After so many issues and problem, the worse being that, we nearly had to cancel the whole trip for the 2nd time when stupid car rental informed us 3 hours before pickup time that there’s no car for us. like wtf, we nearly get heart attack!! Anyway, because we are so berkerjasama and also thanks to Neow, we finally got ourselves a car.
4 days 4 night.
3 cars
14 bursting with energy, spirit of adventuring young bubbly students that hails from Liverpool and Sheffield.
1 journey – 1 purpose – 1 Scotland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was so so relief when we see this. Wohooo!!!
Along the road, there was many roadkills and i wonder what animals was it. Soon enough i found out when i nearly rammed into one of the thousand wild rabbits jumping at the highway =.=
There are simply too much photos to show. Over 7gb of files, 4000+ photos which took me 2 days to filter and sort. That’s of course after recharging for a record breaking 15hours >.<’ 
With the royal police Bagpiper. whats scotland without mens in kilts and bagpipes eh?
Cherry the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Fat and friendly.
We spend the most time at Calton Hill being trigger happy.
Took so so many photos here! And this is with people that we just met a couple of hours ago and probably will never see again in our life. How people click with one another, i don’t know. But talking alot of nonsense and bullshits does help alot 
If u notice, at the right corner of the photos, there’s a bunch of people trying to help me get down from the bloody stones. It’s was freaking high, i was too freak out to jump down. So Malufying T___T
Love this shot.
After having lunch from the boot of our cars, we headed towards Isle of Skye
which took us the unexpected 6-7 hours of drive due to traffic jam =.= Very pening journey. Saw a shop with the most appropriate name for it.
This photo looks like a scene from a ancient war movie sans the tar road. Imagine people hiding at both side of the boulder and throwing stones at unsuspecting enemy. Wahahhaha
And the whole road of Scotland looks like this. which i am not complaining. It was so so breathtaking.
Photograph does no justice to the beauty of Scotland’s Highland.
