Day 135 - Loch Ness

Another busy day in Scotland! I say Scotland because we are not in Edinburgh today.

We decided to do yet another tour. This one took us out and away for 12 hours.
The highlands, Glen Coe and Loch Ness most significantly. We did obviously see a lot more along the way though.
We saw the site used for Hagrids hut in Harry Potter, Sean Connery's land, a mountain that has a staring role in 007 Skyfall and lots of other movie related places.
Historical places where everywhere as well and our driver told us all about them.

Best of all, we did an hour cruise on Loch Ness. The boat has sonar cameras to check for what is hiding under the black water. The camera is connected to screens on the deck so we could watch.
It seems Loch Ness has been famous for its monster sightings for a long time. The first recorded sighting was in 526 AD!!

When I grow up I want to be a monster hunter.

The drive home was relatively uneventful because it was so dark, and that can mean only one thing. Nap time! For a bit anyway. Near the end of the trip we stopped to see a bridge. A big red one. "Forth Bridge" is its name.

It was a great day and money well spent. The only downside was Chad and I were both motion sick at one point. I'm adjusted now though.

By the time we got back all we really wanted was food and bed so that's what happened.
