08:55 Regional Train to Düsseldorf — 10 minutes late so I take the IC instead. Arrive on time at the airport. Eurowings check-in with a huge line, luckily I still have my Senator status despite virtually no flights in the last 24 month.
Flight was also full, but completely uneventful … Good!
You have to fill out a landing card now in the UK – was new to me.
I wanted to charge my phone with the battery pack that I brought with me and could not find it … but a short note from the german custom that they removed it 😤.
Bus to Glasgow (GBP 13,90) brought me to the main shopping street (Queen and Buchanan), which allowed me to run my errands (lighter, hat, power bank). And then I spend 2 hours at the BREWDOG in Glasgow … many of you know that I am an early shareholder of this craft brewery now valued at 2 Billion!!
After that I was supposed to take the train to Mallaig (GBP 40), but the info board said „inquire“ 🥺. After asking support staff I was told that there are not enough train personal and therefore the trip was canceled … but they provided a bus to Fort William (the driver and me in a 50 seat coach) and after a weird route we arrived there at 22:14. And guess what .., the train from here to Mallaig was waiting. So I got my train ride.
It is midnight now and the hotel left the key for me at the reception. Tomorrow is the first day of walking … but first I need to take the small ferry over to Knoydart at 10:15am!
I hope I wake up in time.
