Inver

|

We really wanted to get up early today but somehow we couldn't and so we ended up sleeping in quite late. It was about 09.45 when we woke up. It was pissing down outside and we didn't feel like going out at all. We were still tired from yesterdays trip to Loch Turret where we spent about five hours walking. We also didn't sleep really well... been tossing and turning all night sleeping restless.

There was a wasps nest right under the roof and yesterday while we were out at the lake, people from the village came over to kill the wasps with poison. Rogers room and the bathroom opposite of his were just swarming with dizzy wasps, they were just all over the place, dying. Tricky not to step on them therefore Roger had to sleep in Moyra's bedroom instead of his own, it was just too dangerous...

We got up and had a nice breakfast, all sorts of fruit and I had soy yoghurt. Inge had to do some stuff for Franks practice, administration wise so she had to work till about 13.00. We all had coffee in the kitchen and after that we went of to go to Inver for a nice walk near the river. Inge took us to this place were some rich man built his own tiny bridge and castle just to have his own quiet spot to think and relax. It was beautiful!!! What an amazing view and place, the forest was also breath-taking!







We went there with the 4WD and Moyra and Roger fell asleep while going there. It was quite a long walk before we got to the beautiful spot in the middle of nowhere but it was definitely worth it! The pictures will show! There was also a beautiful waterfall, just amazing. We had to go back at some point because of the children but we've planned on going there again once I., C., J. and S. will be over. It would be a lovely two hours walk and a must-see to them as well!







On our way home Inge showed us Glen Eagles where all the posh people were playing golf. This is where the G8 were staying a while ago and so was president Bush. The whole area had to be cleaned out because of this event and roads were completely blocked and secured. People got money to get out of their houses and stay elsewhere while the meeting was going on, ridiculous thing ain't it??? Anyway, she had to show me this and again it was something strange and amazing to see...





Frank went off to Edinburgh this morning so we had dinner together, the five of us. I checked my email for a second to see how sent me one. Got a nice email in *not* that pissed me off in a way. Even Inge thought it was ridiculous. I can't mention it on here but it had to do with some business deal about an assignment. I finally got the money in after 2.5 years. I won't go into details on here but I was happy to see that it was there in my account. I helped Inge out with the administration. Shortly after that we went for a walk with the dogs and finally went to bed.



We will have to get up early in the morning because we'll be leaving for the Island of Skye! There will be more adventure for us out there! Even though it had been pissing down in the morning, the afternoon was beautiful and very sunny! Time flies when you're having fun! We were exhausted again but it's been another lovely day! Oh, Inge made me drive the 4WD... up the hill, God... that was a pain, it's like driving a tank... and she was laughing her ass off of course...
