Bec & I had planned to travel for two weeks prior to her leaving to head home to Perth. We were due to fly out of Inverness on Sunday 20th Dec. But when we woke up on Sunday morning, everything was covered in a thick layer of snow – almost unheard of in northern Scotland at this time of year.
Then I checked the flight details & found out that Inverness Airport was closed for the rest of the day. After a last minute scramble, Bec & I jumped in Ann’s car quickly, missing a great lunch Sara was cooking for us, & sped to Inverness to try & catch the train on time. We got there & got tickets with only a minute to spare, literally. The train was completely packed. No drinks or food was served for the whole trip into Glasgow (about 5 hours), but we were lucky that one passenger gave us her bottle of water.
We transferred to another train at Glasgow & were happy to find it did serve food & drinks. Then got the Gatwick Express to the airport. So, instead of a 2 hour trip into London, it ended up being a 13 hour trip to our Gatwick hotel. We were grumpy, exhausted, & over tired.
