It took me quite a while to come back to this adventure, but it’s one that is still a part of many conversations I had over the last weeks. If I share anything about Scotland with my friends and family, it’s definitely from our adventure to the Isle of Skye and the Culloden battlefield.

Do you remember the screaming man? Yeah, he’s real. It had to be before 6 am, when I had the most vivid dream of some guy shouting and cursing in front of our door. I woke up, but the room was quiet.

Okay. Whatever, really.  I felt my migraine kicking off and tried to fall asleep only to hear him again! My first though was: “Shit! What the hell do I do now?” I didn’t want to go to Alina as he might hear me, though I thought – she must be terrified. She’s a tiny thing, really. You’d feel the same!

The land of fairies and folk tales. A place, where I left a part of my heart. Oh, Scotland, I knew I’d like you, but I never knew I’ll fall in love with your land and people.

Perhaps we were lucky. In the 5 days that we’d spent there, we had lots of sun, wind, and warmth. And everywhere we went people were warm and welcoming. So different from what we expected.

I know, I was lucky. Alina, my travel buddy, was the best travel companion one could wish. I almost gave up on finding someone that would want to travel with me. Being in your 30ies isn’t the easiest when you want to do activities that don’t support kids. All my friends from back home are either busy or have kids, and my man doesn’t like to travel. Let’s say my chances were pretty small. But not nonexistent. I’m grateful I found someone to travel with.

Vroče je. 26 stopinj, vsaj tako pravijo, a občutek imam, da jih je več. Občutek, ko težko diham, ko mi gre na jok in bi se najraje skrila. A ne zaradi vročine.

Še zadnji košček mojega dopustovanja po Sloveniji – Velika planina. Zanimivo, nisem si mislila, da bom kdaj tako veselo pohajala po domači zemlji, sem pa zadnjič v nekem intervjuju prebrala, da bi mogli Slovencki biti bolj ponosni na svojo deželo. Dopust v Logarski dolini bi moral biti vsaj tako dober v naših očeh, kot dopust na Slonokoščeni obali.

In je res. Premalo cenimo to, kar imam okrog sebe.
