In between sorting and uploading photos from the past few weekends, I've taken a break from my sewing to get on with my other little obsession, travel planning! :-)
We've decided to take a break from Leipzig next year as we've neglected our old tradition of UK holidays, with one big chunk of the country yet to be explored - Scotland!
Given my love of maps, one little ambition I've always longed to fulfil is a road trip around the north-west coast of Scotland, so I gave myself a deadline of doing it before the next *ahem* landmark birthday. So, whilst you lot are all in Leipzig for Wave Gotik Treffen, this is where Rob and I plan to be:
( provisional schedule and map )
Already turning out a bit scarily expensive, as i evidently can't add up - calculated originally for 15 nights but that turned out to be 18! So now the task commences of finding affordable accommodation - we don't plan to rough it too much! - seems rather early for making enquiries but everyone I've spoken to says that if budget is paramount, the sooner the better.
So any tips on interesting, affordable accommodation (already found one hostel which has rooms in a train carriage, so I think we're going for that one for a start!) and any places to visit which are on my marked out route (ie much as I'd like to visit Orkney etc, will have to save that for another trip as i can't do the entire country in two weeks!) may well be appreciated!
