22.07.2006 - Overnite @ Kyle of Lochalsh: Kyleakin-

Our initial plan before depart liverpool was: where we go, where we sleep...(sleep in car)
If can, try to find a B&B or Guest House or any accom tht is cheap to bath & re-charge all Electronic stuff v hav...save whatever photos we had in camera into Laptop...memory card limited..all of us are photogenic *perasan*...hahaha...
coz, 5 days trip...v only could hav a accomodation @ Emily's fren house in Edinburgh.
p/s: Edinburgh is our last station...hahahhaa....
how we could settle remaining days accom?? we overnite @ Petrol station for the 1st day..
continue wif whole day driving ... never bath for 24hours...haha...battery sign in camera was blinking..memory FULL is blinking as well...no matter how, we must at least have a room!!!

Lets see the map (source):

Depart from the castle till Kyle of Lochalsh already late nite...almost 11pm..most hostel, B&B and guest house already FULL HOUSE...surrounding the Kyleakin for almost an hour for a room...kinda hard!!!...Finally, we found this: Kyleakin International Hostel
its a youth hostel...cheap yet ngam ngam got a room tht able to fit in 10 gals...ok la..jz take it.."jiong zao ha" lo...of coz...its not as comfort as our MARYBONE la...jz like normal hostel (bit like TARC hostel)...不过, 有点暗暗的...尤其是冲凉房.应该是Orange light 的关系.
anyhow, as long as hav a place to sleep n recharge, who's care??..hehe

hmmm.....hav u notice?? the whole phase i just said...fit in 10 Gals...how about remaining guys?? hahaha....they jz drop us their "Accessories": phone, laptop & cameras then sleep in d cars lo...pity them...but, v let them curi curi enter hostel bath 1st la...hahaha...Management dunno d....

This Youth Hostel in Kyleakin is now closed down, it is being turned into flats.

There are other Backpacker houses in Kyleakin though. See www.kyleakin.com
