Did Mark put on his Speedo and swim with Nessie?????

The answer to the question above is no, but we were traveling around the Scotish Highlands today, which was absolutely amazing. Although it was a tad chilly.......around 50 degrees we were all in awe with the beauty of the highlands. Our tour bus left Edinburgh at 8 am and we made a few quite a few stops along the 375 mile tour. We saw Hemish, the mascot of a tiny village of Glencoe, which is a Highland cow with huge horns and really long hair.

After our visit with the cow we went up into the highlands which is a small mountain range with brilliant green countryside and hundreds of rushing waterfalls. Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland, all of the UK acctually, was clouded over which added to its awe in my opinion. We had some lunch in Fort Williams and headed up to Loch Ness which is the place we have all heard of. It was awesome being there and seeing just how beautiful it is, rather than thinking of Nessies and watching for the monster.

After the Loch, Andrew and Zippy took the boat tour for an hour, and no zippy did not put on the speedo or swim with Nessie. We stopped for dinner in a tiny little city, i can't remember the name at this time but we had some fish and chips which were tasty. We got back to Edinburgh around 8:30 pm our time so 2 :30 back home where we snuck some wine into the hostel.........shhhhh its illegal and would have gotton confiscated. Now we are in the commons area enjoying a Carling beer before we take showers and pack up so we will be ready for our train ride to London in the morning. Hopefully it won't rain, although it has been raining alot down south of us.....we have been as far West (Dingle), and now North (Inverness/Loch Ness) as we will be. That's all from us for now, much love and we'll talk to you as soon as we can.
