André and I went on a trip to Scotland earlier this month, here are a few impressions.

It seems that our webserver also took some time off during our trip, but my trusty admin has since fixed the problem, and now I’m back and Serendipita is up and running again.
Beautiful. I miss Britain. (Was in the Highlands only once, more than thirty years ago. I remember it like this.)
André traveled to Scotland once before, in 1993, and the landscape hasn’t changed, but the numbers of tourists have increased, in some areas dramatically so. We tried to escape the masses by going to more remote places like Lewis and Harris. This was our first trip anywhere, ever, that we worried about finding places to stay without prior booking. Still, if you go for longer walks, you can still find solitude there. We already have a list of places to see, things to do and walks to walk for next time.
