Dunottar Castle, in Stonehaven, Scotland. Outfitted in Patagonia Gore-tex as opposed to a wool kilt, but if I had one I may just be tempted to wear it......
Super Puma systems and limitations, night clubbing, single malt scotch distilleries, and ancient castles....we have been enjoying ourselves, even if the days are long. It seems that every restaurant in Aberdeen has the same menu; a few burgers, fish and chips, pork bellys, steak and eggs, mac and cheese, gammon...but we've found a few Thai and Italian spots for some variety, and the beer is cold most everywhere. My body is craving some green so perhaps a salad tonight. Our hotel is attached to the biggest mall in Aberdeen, and being a week to Christmas, it's packed from opening to closing with shoppers. I generally avoid malls like the plague for all of December but I don't have much choice.
We are almost finished the ground school portion of our AS332L2 course, and to be honest, there are very few differences when compared to the AS332L/L1 variants that I am decidedly well versed in, so I am kind of bored, but heck, I'm getting paid and visiting castles. Got a shot of my next steed from an engineer buddy....big iron.....woo hoo! Base Manager headaches like reading through contracts, preparing operations documents and work VISAs and a myriad of other distractions has already begun. Home on the weekend for the holidays! Looking forward to it.
