" If we are not prepared to work hard for ourselves, then we deserve to be left behind." ~ Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad...

Sabda Nabi S.A.W: "Umat akhir zaman akan ditimpa penyakit “wahan” yang menyebabkan Allah cabut kehebatan Islam dalam hati. " Apa itu "wahan"?" tanya sahabat. Jawab Baginda: “Cintakan dunia dan takut mati!”...

Daripada Aisyah bahawa Rasulullah bersabda: "Melihat pada tiga perkara adalah ibadah. Melihat wajah ibu bapa, melihat Al-Quran dan melihat lautan." - (Riwayat Abu Nuaim) dan ditambah dengan "Melihat Ka'abah". - (Riwayat Abu Daud)...

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." ~ President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962

Fort Williams...

 

Our rented car...
Me, driving...
On a break, to appreciate the view...



Left Glasgow at 8 am and reached Fort Williams at noon. Checked in at The Smiddy Bunkhouse & Blacksmiths Backpackers Hostel.



Went to Nevis Range and took a sky gondola to the top of  Aonach Mor. This mountain was next to Corn Mor Dearg and next to it was the Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British isles which stood at 1,344 meters (4,409 ft) above sea level. The local people are really proud of this even though this mountain is a dwarf compared to  Mount Kinabalu in Sabah (4,095 m).

 In winter, you could go sking here...





Then we went to Mallaig via "The Road to the Isles" route - claimed to have the most spectacular scenery in the world and it was. Took a ferry to the Armadale in the Isle of Skye.

 Glenfinnan Tower...
 Arrived @ Mallaig...


 As it was raining, spent the entire ferry trip inside...
 Old Fisherman sculpture @ Mallaig Harbour...

That night, Athar & Usman cooked dinner - Chicken tikka masala & Sindi biryani. Yum yum...
