Job Hunting

Well this would have to go down as some of the quickest job hunting in history. We rang an agency who organizes live in jobs, they gave us a huge list of jobs all over the UK looking for couples, we rang two and we got a job.
The first pub we called was a 13th century building in Bath and the bloke there sounded really, really nice but he'd just about lined someone else up for the job. The second one was on the west coast of Scotland in a small town called Inveraray. After a five minute phone call we had the job! The place is called The George and seems pretty bloody nice. We get en-suite accommodation (away from the hotel as far as we can tell) and meals on the job as well as a decent wage. The guy we talked to, Chris is a member of the family that has owned the place for six generations and seemed like a great bloke, we'll have to get used to the accent though.
We have now lined up a cheap (ish) flight to Glasgow where Chris is going to pick us up on Friday and he reckons he'll start us on Sunday. What a trip!

Wow That place looks great. We knew you would have no trouble getting a job, but in Scotland?, hope your winter woolies keep up the good work. How long are you working for?, because we have to come and check out your accommodation and also check your working conditions.

No idea yet. We were pretty stoked to go up North actually. At least the cold means it should be quiet for a while.

Woohoo! The last few days I've been talking non-stop about my massive year-long (hopefully) 2008 Asia-Europe-America expedition, and I've been saying that half way through I'll stop in Scotland for 3 months or so to build up my cashflows again. Wow.... :) xx

Hooley Dooley! Right in the middle of the Campbells! Only an hour from Glen Coe! That place is full of rip roaring history!

Just because you have stopped travelling is no reason not to blog. Is there no internet in Scotland
