It’s been a while since I last wrote some lines here in my blog. Meanwhile we spent our four weeks of summer vacation up in northern Scotland. We visited the Islands of Orkney and the Northwest of Scotland. Especially the Isle of Skye gave us lots of wonderfull impressions on some walks along the Trotternish ridge.

As always, there’s a new section in the Gallery where you can find all the photos. You’re welcome to view and comment the pictures.

I uploaded the GPS tracks of the two trails on Skye to GPSies.com:

We’re not sure if this city will be lost in the eternal high waters or if the lagoon gets finally silt up and Venice will stand in the mud up to it’s neck; but this is sure: Venice will sink. Anyway, the time is long gone when Venice was a beautiful place. The houses are all wet and uninhabitable. There are no locals anymore, just tourists and tourist cheaters. The channels all stink. And generally on Easter everything gets worse than in high season…
So far the common prejudice of all this helpfull souls that wanted to prevent us from spending an entire week in the middle of Venice.

…to be continued. Sorry, just did the german version, yet.
