Wet but happy

Gotta say that Scotland is a really beautifull country,where i did enjoy riding,much of nature many phesants around here and there in the north,mountain and water everywhere...a bit tought tho cause almost everydays up and down hill,but i like it anyways..after i left Inverness i went down the loch Ness to check if Nessie was up to say hello to me...but nothing..
after that i went on Skye island witch is jus amazing place at that time i had like 7 days of folowing sun...and 10 punctures in between due to my back tire going real bad....it literraly open itself and the inner tube is actually going out and tuch the ground then,witch is bad real bad.I did follow the caledonian canal for some time as well,i really enjoyed riding along the water..seeing the fishermans using it to pass one side to another.After skye i went to Fort William to head south,i saw Ben Nevis the highest mountain of UK,1344meters(no pictures of it..cause no more batteries at that time) and that same day..a marathon went on..so as i stop on a parking place beside the road a van did stop same time as well and started to prepare water and energie drink for the runner ,so i did help them spontaneiously as well to serv water and drink for the runners...and the same day i took the road down south...full of energie to see theses peoples giving themselves till the limit that was a great experience...
I have meet Desmont on the way back from skye as well a irish person that live on skye since cuple of years...he shower me around,the gaelic college where he use to study and where all the courses are in gaelic...!good to meet him..and what a breakfast we had..befor i took the ferry to the main island...he showed me almadera castle witch is the castle of the MacDonald clan..after i took that ferry i went on a amazing road...the coastal road from mallaig to fort william ..it was just unbeliveble and very beautifull..
randomly meet as well Roy and Rose as i was going to pitch up my tent beside a loch,the let me know if i wanted a coffe i was welcom so i did came back to see them after i pitched me tent up,nice chat ,nice food..thanks to them again!
Now in N.Irland..I took a ferry like a week ago,from Troon..100km down south there was a ferry also...like 2 pounds cheaper...so i did take the one from Troon..cause 2pounds...difference make 100kms to save 2 pounds.no point to me..then i started to follow the coastal route by a sunny day,and for the first time i paid a camping..10pounds cause a shower was really needed and some electricity for my phone and camera was needed too..then i went by Torr head scenic route witch is really up and down...very steep,but enjoyable..Along the road i meet surfers as well irish surfer witch offered me breakfast and good chat...then i started to feel what i the irish hospitality...but it just started...
making my way to the giant causeway i had great timethere looking at that stones formations..and looking at the tourists...a bit upset cause i could't take a picture unspoiled let s say..so i came back the day after like 8pm..to do my own photo session and then...it was just SO great...
Meet randomly 2 french walkers as well as Aurore and Thomas witch are living and working by the border with switzerland near the Alps,a sunday...like an irish sunday that we spend in the bush house in bushmills...having pints..all the day....and at some point decided to visit the distillery..old bushmills distllery but did not really succed cause we were 5 minutes lates...!!!so we did came back to the bush house...what a laught we had...gotta say i am really pleased i meet them!aqnd hopefully meet them back on my way south home...
i am now in the Maiden city...stroke city..the walled city...where Ryan a Cs connection welcomed me...in his project house that is working out,he is working most of the daytime..but befor yesterday we went to have a drink in town..Ryan that i might contact again cause he runs a volontary asocitation in ghana...and i might go there...to do some vonlontary work for the communtities...i really wish but only the road knows really...,anyways he helped me really much letting me ordering a tyre..to his place..cause now i am bored of repairing..i need to change but no shop on the way had the tire i wanted...cause it is a bit speacial...it contain kevlar..to avoid puntures and last long as well...thanks to Ryan about that!!
