Waking up to a beautiful misty morning we packed up the tents and headed into town for some breaky. On advice Zuz and I bought some waterproof jackets that would hold up to the Scottish conditions. So to the bus station where we gave our many thanks to the G-Man. It was just such a shame that things did not go to the grand plan. Boarding the bus and onward to Inverness. We drove past Loch Ness. It is huge. No wonder no one has found Nessy yet. There were also heaps of places to stop and look at, but we were not to know. Maybe next time, no, next time for sure.
On arrival to Inverness we rang the youth hostel. Next step was finding it. On went the packs and walked up to the hostel in the rain. There was only one U-turn but I swear it was the maps fault : ) But Zuz was happy “I’ve got waterproofs!!”. It did not take long for that investment to pay off. We spent the arvo walking around Inverness, located on the River Ness. Looking at the castle, albeit not the biggest castle in the land and a few nice churches and a beautiful Old hotel that was covered in flowering foliage. It also had one of the nicest Mc Donald’s I have seen, but I suppose we were in Scotland.
