Fort William!

Hi

We're here in sunny Fort William having survived the 15 hour flight from Sydney to Dubai, Patrice and Aimee wouldn't have enjoyed that one. We had a quick look around Dubai, 41 degrees was a bit of a change though. Went to a mall, the local electronics market (Sony DSC-H2 Piki), had a cruise down the creek which is acutally a pretty big river. James Rooney took us out on the town were we went to one of 2 pubs in the city and then sampled a bit of local cuisine. The locals all thought we were something pretty good to stare at!

The flight to Glasgow left at 7:50am which meant we were up at 4:00am and off to the airport. It took a meare 7 1/2 hours to get to Glasgow whre Martin MacDonald from No Fuss Events pick us up and drove us through to Fort William. Fantastic scenery, its like around Wanaka except the hills are green with lots of streams and waterfalls. Really beautiful with some of the hills/mountains quite intimidating with shear granite rock faces and steep slopes.

We've been given a 9 seater Renault van to cruise around in for a couple of days, not quite the Young Ones on Tour but its a laugh.

Right better go and get our bikes sorted and then its up to Loch Ness for a look and later we're having a ride around the race course. We'll try to get some photos on soon.

Bye for the now.
