Sunday may eighth 2011

Today we woke up in Inverness, had an excellent breakfast, moved out if the hotel and into the first hostel I've ever stayed in. We dropped our belongings then went to the mall. I purchased some hair accessories then had some lunch. Then we got on a tour bus for loch ness. We then got in a boat in the rain and toured loch ness. It was absolutely breathtaking. The mountains were covered with all shades if green. The mountains paved the way for the lake that was dark and wavy. Everyone kept their eyes out for "Nessie" but we had no sightings. It was cloudy and misting but when we got to the island it became sunny. On the island was a castle, an information center and a gift shop. The castle was very pretty and the view was absolutely gorgeous. We took pictures practically everywhere because the view was different in each angle. We then watched a film on the history of the area. We then ventured back to the hostel and then decided to get some dinner. Tiana, Katie and I went to this Italian place and it was marvelous. Better than olive garden. I know I shouldn't be going to an Italian place while I'm in Scotland, but how many pubs can you go to really? Then we went grocery shopping for breakfast and lunch items to try and save some money. Then we came back to the hostel and i called home for the first time. Happy mothers day! Tonight should be interesting sleeping with five other girls. Not too far off from the sorority house :)
