Day 5 - Trip to Inverness.

We took a two and a half hour train ride from Stonehaven to Inverness today (it is where we will be staying for the next few days). It's called Inverness because it sits at the mouth of the river Ness.

The train was a new experience for me. I have never been on a train before. After that experience,I actually would prefer to travel by train, but the lack of them in Michigan discourages any train journeys. :[ We got off the train and headed to our hostel - the Highlander Hostel. It's a quaint little place, but I like the character of it. At least it's a place to sleep!

I decided to explore the city a little bit afterward. Unfortunately, most of it is shopping centers and stores. However, most of the architecture here is very old and that makes up for the annoying modernity! It's such a beautiful city.

Later that night, I also had another first: Indian food. Myself, Andrea, Mara, Kaitlynd, Emma, Luke, and Dr. Cartrite headed to Cinnamon's for some authentic Indian food. I had some Chicken Tikka and it was fabulous! Being the carb queen that I am, I also fell in love with the Nan. However, I had some outrageous heartburn later but I am happy to say it was worth it. I hope that I can find some authentic Indian food in Michigan!

Yet again, I am going to turn in early. I hope that this is healthy!

Tomorrow: Loch Ness!
