On the way to the Isle of Skye, we made a few stops. One was Invergarry Castle - actually the ruins of it.
In the river below the castle, there was a shipwreck.
After that castle, we (we being Cody or Vicki - I ain’t driving here!) drove to the Eilean Donan Castle outside of Dornie. As Vicki already said, it was kind of a rip off.
That evening we had a wonderful meal at a restaurant on the loch. Well, Vicki had a wonderful meal, and I wish I had ordered the chowder that she had.
Here are Cody and Autumn at the waterside.
Quite a few of these everywhere here. In some places, there are no barriers and they are on the side of the road, inches from your bumper. You would expect to see more mutton on menus, but we haven’t found any so far. The blue on this one is a mark the owner uses to identify his flock.
We have had rain every day. Sometimes just a steady sprinkle, sometimes a hard, driving rain. Not a damned thing to do about it, so we suit up and go ahead with our plans. Then there are those moments when the sun pops out for a moment. Gorgeous.
We visited the Fairy Pools and while all of us started out on the hike, Vicki and I did not finish it. Cody and Autumn did - in spite of Cody’s antics on the rocks.
