Once again we did not have free Internet access, and still do not today (10/02) as I am typing this up. I bit the bullet and I am paying for access since it has been a few days.
Today we traveled from Glasgow over to Inverness by taking a side excursion.
As we were getting to leave this morning we checked to see where the town of Bellshire may be as we know that one of Judy's ancestors came through that town. It turns out that we were only about 20 minutes from the town, and actually the bus drove fairly close to it yesterday on our way to the hotel.
This morning I had Haggis for breakfast. it is not really that bad - it reminded me of the Amish scrapple in taste, just a little more coarse - it is a little had to describe the consistancy.
It was very overcast today.
We drove along Lock Lomond, a lone narrow lake clsoe to 23 miles in length. Next up and over a mountain pass.
Near Ft. William we passed the 7 Nepture Staircase locks that are part of the canal that goes through several locks and connects the Atlantic side of Scotland to the east coast.
At Gennfinnan we saw several of the places used in the Harry Potter films, including that big rail bridge and the castle on the edge of the lake.
We then took the ferry over to the Isle of Skye, then back to the main island by a bridge.
We stopped for a kodak moment at a castle built in 1220 (Eilean Donan).
We passed by a field that must have had over 200 ring-necked pheasants walking around in it, not inclused.
We also drove by Lock Ness, a well-known lake of about 1 mile wide at it's widest and 22 miles long.
Shortly after we arrive at our hotel in Inverness.
