After sightseeing Edinburgh for a few hours, we continued our journey to north of Scotland.
If you look at the map (taken from www.geocities.com), from Edinburgh we drove to Nairn (not shown in map) which is situated roughly between Inverness and Elgin. It is the furthest north of this beautiful world that I've ever been to. I felt quite lucky because during our stay in Nairn, we experienced the summer solstice here (21st June-the longest day of the year for northern hemisphere). Even at 12 midnight, the sky was not dark (remang2 senja je). At 4am the sun was already out again.
Nairn is a small town situated at the coast of Moray Firth. It was a fishing village, now a holiday resort. Moray Firth is famous for dolphin watch, where you can hire small cruises to go to the sea and watch dolphins in the wildlife. But of course, we didn't have the money for that, although I would really love to.
We stayed in a caravan park called Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park. The park is by the seaside with direct access to the beach, and it has a playground, indoor swimming pool, restaurant and a video arcade.
The caravan's interior is small and compact, but all necessities were provided, including a fireplace and fridge/freezer. Even the cooking utensils were complete, from pots and pans to colander. Of course we brought our own pot and utensils, along with rice, canned sardines and Brahim's.
The next day we went to a nearby farm for strawberry picking. Adam was very excited, and he was good at choosing the strawberry. We ended up with almost 2kg of strawberry. The villagers get their groceries here, fresh from the farm.
tak puas petik strawberry, nak raba2 yg dlm kedainya pulak..
ada nenek minat dgn abid..
