Accomodation: Aberdeen


Oilprices are somewhere up in the clouds this days. For Aberdeen, center of british oil industry this means business and wealth. Any empty room is rented as B&B to business people working for American, British or Saudi Companies with well known names.
I cruised town for several hours without any result. Hm, bad is not to know where to sleep the fastcoming night. A lovely elderly couple finally offered their sofa. Uh, I cannot accept this! So Mrs A. phonesearched for a room and managed to book me into crowded Aberdeen Youthhostel. Wonderful old lady! I stayed in Youthhostel's posh room for one night, and in a three bed room on night number 2.
At breakfast I learnd that Aberdeen is overrun by oil industrie for real. In the morning at 7.00 were four or five oil manager having their morning tea at the Youthhostel, while I started my tour south.
