Day 2 : Fort William

Wake up in 6.30am, wash up and get prepared for everything. I think today's journey might be quite tired, first stop - Nevis Range. It is a year round mountain ski resort in the The Highlands of Scotland near Ben Nevis and Fort William. The mountain gondolas transport us to the 650m on the slopes of Aonach Mor, a stone's throw from Ben Nevis. There's mountain discovery centre, restaurant with highland views on the stop. Besides, everyone can post some postcards in the gift shop.

While, Nevis Range also one the only World Cup downhill in UK. There's bike school and competition to be held here. On the other hand, it also offers the highest skiing in Scotland and has a great record for good snow conditions running late into the season. It's so windy and breezy on the top of the mountain!! *running nose*



Our schedule had delayed!!!!!!!!!! arrgghhhh, 3.10pm, Jacobite Train had passed through when we reached Glenfinnan. It's a very famous attraction due to the Harry Potter Film. It is a small and beautiful village has sat comfortably among the hills of Glenfinnan for centuries. The village is located within a lovely u-shaped valley that follows a north-east to south-west route with Loch Shiel in the centre of the glen.

'' 2009 is the 26th year of the return of stream trains to Mallaig. From the start in 1984 when British Rail reintroduced steam to the line it was knowns as 'The West Highlander' which later became 'The Lochaber'. West Coast Railways took over the running of this service in 1995 and gave it much loved title 'THE JACOBITE'. It continues to be an essential part of every West Highlands holiday.''
