Flying on Flybe's Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 from Aberdeen to London City Airport


After countless fights with the Ryanair and EasyJet's Boings and Airbuses finally I had the pleasure to fly on Flybe's turboprop (airplane with propellers, that's it) Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 from Aberdeen to London City Airport.

Otherwise the flight was pleasant and comfortable (in contrast with the a bit too crammed Ryanair's flights), but it flies noticeably slower then the turbojet planes.

Aberdeen, Scotland - first impressions of the city during my walk from the harbour to the airport


This is footage from my walk through Aberdeen, Scotland on my way to the airport. I was very impressed by the friendliness of the locals and in general from the city. It is indeed one of the nicest places in UK I've seen so far.

Travel with the ferry from Lerwick, Shetland to Aberdeen


This is footage from my travel with the ferry from Lerwick, Shetland to Aberdeen, on my way from Shetland to Portugal.

The travel from Sumburgh, Shetland to Faro, Portugal is kind of interesting experience. One has to get first bus from Sumburgh Airport to the Capital of Shetland, Lerwick. From there the next step is to get the ferryboat to Aberdeen, Scotland in the evening, with which follows 12-13 hours sailing and costs £35 without any additional luxuries as cabin or anything. After that there is a bit of flying, which I'll cover in the next entries.

With car through Scotland

I took these few pictures, while crossing Scotland with a car. The whole exercise was to travel from London to Aberdeen, where I'd get on the ferry to Lerwick, Shetland. Even thought I haven't seen much from Scotland the little I managed to spot was enough to convince me that it is indeed one of the more beautiful places around. It has distinct spirit and it feels different of England.
