Day 2 - Fort William, Jacobite, Mallaig!!

Day 2 <3

Fort William


Woke up damn early in the morning to catch the train as only a few trains in one day.

Okay. Time to explain.

I die die also wanna go Fort William is because of this one:


and this:



AWRRRRRRRRRR

tempted and familiar right!!!
It's the Hogwarts Express from the HP movie!


I am not sure whether it is the real train as there are several steam train but the view from the picture is definitely this place.

As I arrived the station too early, I have plenty of time to walk around the small town, of course, with my heavy back pack.
T_________________________T











Swan at the seaside LOL






And finally here'e the train!








I looks funny but I don't care! Who care!



First Class Seats


Standard Seat.
The ticket for the train is around 34pounds for roundtrip.
The train will travel from Fort William to Mallaig, which is the last destination.
Normal train (train which i used the day before) also did travel to Mallaig, but what we want is the steam train...........................


This railway journey was recognized as world's best railway journey.
Yeah I agree with that.
Damn beautiful!
There are two trip in one day: morning and afternoon trip. I chose the early trip as this trip ended 4pm whereas the afternoon trip will end at 8.30pm.....which is too late for me to take train to Edinburgh..........

The morning trip start at 10.15am. It will reach Mallaig 12.45pm and we will have out free time until 2pm. I think the time is sufficient as Mallaig is a small port, we can take picture fast fast and later buy some souvenir and even had our lunch.

Here are some beautiful and spectacular views from the train. Thanks again to my camera <3

I missed a lot of nice things before i bought this camera.AWR






GLENFINNAN! The train will announce there will be several minutes left to Glefinnan---this bridge.

And after the bridge, we will reach Glenfinnan station with a break of 20mins.










I believe this is my best selfie in 2014! Selfie with Hogwarts Express muahahhahah


And finally we reached Mallaig!!

Mallaig

Mallaig is a fishing port and terminal for ferries. Fish and Chips is a MUST.





Lol my face tired /.\
only the 2nd day.........................






Actually the Rum and Eigg Island is around here, but couldn't see.









I fall in love with anchor after i joined BB. LOL
Anchor Beer hahhahhaaaaaaa niceeeeee


Than I saw that I have around 45 minutes left, I decided to have my lunch in the Tea Garden.


It is situated right side to the Station.

Seriously I felt that I'm a bit obsessed with Earl Grey. Don't know how many times I ordered Earl Grey in this whole trip. :/




Haddock and Chips. BEST FISH ever since I've came UK!!!!!!!
VERY NICEEEEEEEEEEE
the fish is very very fresh
Highly Recommended <3

Then I saw a lot people eating ice cream while walking here and there....


Its situated beside the Tea Garden.

Building built above a big rock. Wowwwww

This I believe is the Rum island or Sleat........................


And this mystery island i think is the Eigg Island

The train depart at 2.15pm, we have to gather around 2pm. Time to leave! but this time i sat on a different seat, which is the window side, so I could grab more beautiful views.



The Silver Sands of Morrar


Actually the Loch Morar, the lake with monster is just nearby this place but i think i missed it because there were a LOT of lakes. I couldn't recognize even with a simple map.






The steam of the train. LOL it's smellyyyyyyyyyy



and finally Glenfinnan again <3








There is another shorter, straight bridge which looks like Glenfinnan but it was too short......until I have no chance to take photo.







 Sea, mountain, sea, mountain..........

I couldn't breathe! One way of the journey is almost 2 hours and I couldn't find a good timing to sleep. It is just too waste for sleep.

Everyone on the train is very HIGH. lol. love the atmosphere.

After the trip, I took train to Edinburgh and reach there at night.

To be continue *~~
