loch
we farewelled howie relatives today. we drove to loch ness - didn't find the monster, but took a few photos
we then went to urquhart castle, a ruined castle on the shore of the loch.
here is howie at the latrine
in a spiral staircase
we later experienced our first real rain for this whole trip! fortunately it didn't last too long, and we didn't need to be outside during it.
once we arrived at fort william, we found our b&b for the night (yay for a real bed after four nights on a sofa bed or a sofa bed mattress on the floor) but didn't stay long.
david, howie and i decided to go on the nevis range mountain gondolas - cable cars. i was so brave, and howie only got hit once for rocking it.
the top was quite high! but not too cold. there was a bit of snow further up from us.
tomorrow we are driving to maillig, and then catching a ferry to the isle of eigg, where we will spend two nights. apparently the island only got mains electricity two years ago, so internet is probably a no go! so perhaps we will write again when in glasgow in a few days time, before we fly out. how sad!
