*Once upon a time, my girlfriend and I were backpacking through the Scottish Highlands.*
It was a magical trip and I enjoyed it very much. We were there in the dead of winter – over Christmas, in fact – going from small city to small city to enjoy the sights and beautiful landscapes. Although there was one downside to our trip: it got dark *early*.
*Like, the sun set at 4pm sharp.*
Christine and I didn’t mind, though. That just meant that we had more time for, ahem, activities.
I forget exactly where we were – maybe Inverness? – and we’d bunked down at a hostel for the night. We were lucky to have been able to find one that had private rooms, which meant that we could go ahead and do said activities without worry.
*For those that don’t remember my earliest stories, I dated Christine for a year, 10 months of which were long distance. That meant that when we did see each other, we tended to jump each others’ bones. A lot.*
This is the story of how those poor, underpaid hostel workers came to hate us.
