[關於住宿]
同樣透過 Hostelbookers預定的,離車站很近的Bank Street Lodge當天雙人房都已客滿,所以P青選了四人房,一人13.5鎊,很幸運的是這段期間非旅遊旺季,所以主人給我們兩人單獨使用四人房,房間不大,陳設簡單卻很整潔,上下舖為木頭製的,非常堅固,睡起來很舒適。主人的各項原則都貼心的註明清楚,像幾點過後,嚴禁大家吵鬧;請大家維持整潔;廚房可免費使用,還有免費食物櫃可供需要者使用;各項旅客可能緊急需要的收費標準也都有註明,像是盥洗用具...等等。共用的衛浴間及廁所也十分寬敞乾淨(衛浴間是用不透明浴簾作隔間,內向的女性可趁無人使用時,再前往沐浴。)
Bank Street Lodge was close to the city centre but it was quiet and peaceful. Pigen's cold seemed to become worse. They went to Tesco to buy Vitamin C for supply. Hope Pigen would recover soon.
住宿的地方雖然離市中心很近,卻是很寧靜的地方。同時,P根好像感冒了,隔天趕緊到市區的特易購買盒維他命C補充,看是否能盡快康復。

One interest scenery was there's a very very long street in the city centre. All the stores were by the sides of street. For tourists, they would never be lost. Finishing a simple meal, Pigen and Piching went to visit the fort because they still had time before thay took the train to Mallaig. However, onece they arrived there, they were stunned by the view. Where's the fort? There were only grass and a noticeboard with few debris. You could see many dumbfounded faces showed on other tourists as well because the remains was destroyed by the train staion.
有趣的是這裡的市中心是一條很長、很長的街道,所有商店都坐落在兩側,不用怕迷路。簡單用完餐後,距離搭乘往Mallaig火車還有點時間,便到附近的碉堡(威廉碉堡為著名西高地之路或大峽谷路線的終點站)去逛逛,然而碉堡在哪裡?只見一片綠地及些許的殘骸,原來碉堡早就被火車站破壞光了,現場留下的只有一塊解說牌,傻眼的不只是P根與P青,見其它旅客也同樣的一臉錯愕。
