On the road to: Fort William

We woke up to a surprise - it turned out that there was a water problem, and we had no H2O for shower or bathroom - so we decided we smelled pretty fresh without a shower and headed on our way... We went to the very southwest part of the Isle to Armadale Castle - we toured the grounds and took some great pictures. As we headed back up to the road to leave the beautiful island, we stopped at Isle of Skye whiskey distillery for a free sample and inspiration.

We then headed back to the Scotland mainland - we didn't have a reservation for the night - so we decided that Fort William looked like a good place to find a B&B and call home base for 24 hours. We found a B&B quite easily and then stopped for lunch at Ben Nevis restaurant which had a fantastic view right on Lock Linnhe. Ang ate haggis for our first taste of the trip (which would become a staple later on). We hiked gorgeous Glen Nevis trail to the upper waterfalls with absolutely spectactular scenery. You even had to cross a "wire" bridge at one point of the hike - fun! We ate dinner at highly recommended restaurant called No. 4 - we at lots of seafood - I think Bob ate 100 mussels.

  • It looks like Bob is doing a tight rope walk on a power line, it would make a great "jackass" episode if that were the case.
