OK OK OK ..... YES SCOTLAND IS MAGNIFICENT!
Good morning Scotland. Our stay at the Westerwood was certainly very comfortable, albeit short.. No time to socialise last night with our mates. Home late, and ready to face a big day.
As I write this I had no idea JUST HOW BIG!!
It is Saturday I think, and today we started off with a most lovely brekky in the resort dining room, I really like the fruit selection offered. One can only do so many "cooked brekkys"
Off we go to the Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond for ....wait for it..YES ....ANOTHER CRUISE.... #5 now.. Too spoilt 😉
The one hour cruise was unbelievable. Every moment was spectacular. Warren braved a nasty local beer, and I had a coffee then a nice Pino Grigio, after all it was 7.30 at home..
Our boat was called the Lomond Queen( Wazzas note and I beg to differ.. )
It was peaceful, beautiful and everything we love...water fun and great company!
Onward through Glencoe, and though Linnhe.
Our lunch stop today was at fort William, as there is a dire weather prediction for tomorrow it's decided unanimously we should do our optional Isle of Skye tour tonight. Today we had the most amazing weather...
Fort William was a bit slow with service, so after a drink at the Great Glen with Barbara, Debbie, Marian and the always funny always gorgeous Jeff we bolted off in pursuit of a coldie for tonight given we are in the boon docks.
At the last gasp I grabbed a roast roll.. And jumped back on board in the nick of time
All the while battling something I haven't encountered for a zillion years.. The migraine eyes.. If you have had one you know what I am talking about.
Flashes everywhere, couldn't read or see properly. I was so upset. I took a couple of pills, put my sunnies on and asked for Devine intervention.. Today was a special day for me.- A special "mum place" didn't want to miss a bit! I got lucky and had just a "dull headache". Very grateful.
Today was a rough day for most, it was over 12 hours in the bus ..none more so than Liz and Lucky Phil.....great job hearding the sheep.
As I write these notes its12.05 am, I just peeped out the window and it's still not dark.
OK lunch done, sheep herded and off we go to Commandos Memorial, a magnificent place high on the the hill with the lonely goat heard... Oh no wrong movie!!
I was very excited to know we passed our beautiful grandson Lachlans Loch . I miss you Lachie..
Isle of Skye next to drop our bags and continue onto tomorrow mornings tour, today we had the most splendid weather, tomorrow is not so good apparently. John was our local specialist .. A mixture of funny and well..... Snoring ....
I can't tell you how 12 hours in a bus is so NOT fun... But I love our Liz for ensuring we get to see the best of the best.
She is AMAZING to say the least!
So is Wazza ..this is what I missed
Loch Lomond is 23 meters long 5 meters wide
630 feet deep and 22 islands.
