Cameron House
Ok, I´ll admint it. I am a sucker for nice Hotels. It doesn´t have to be expensive and luxury all the way but it does have to have personality. Sometimes being at a 5 star hotel is too much because I can´t relate to most people staying there. Cameron House is something else though. You don´t have to interact with other guests that much. You take a walk along Loch Lomond. Sipping a single malt in their whisky bar or maybe reading a good crime novel.
It´s a place to return to.
I´m having a great time here. Still have two more days before going to Chicago but I already decided I have to come back.
It´s a great city with a great ambiance, although I have a hard time finding any hippies. Strange considering the easy access to stuff at stores like the above :)
It´s great to hang out with my friend here and to get tips on what to do that would be hard/impossible to find as a tourist with a guide book!
I finished Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts recently and although I´m not sure if I really liked the book it made me realize that I think about India almost everyday. I miss it. Maybe I will be able to go back in January next year but I´m not sure.
About Shantaram, it was a good story and his descriptions of India are so vivid you can smell it or even taste it but to me, it was all written in a spellbound junkies haze. When I read Burroughs back in the day it was kind of fun with that romaticized visions of the cool junkie but today it just sadened me. It´s worth reading. Suppose it´s just me.
