Day 3 was another success

Today the weather once again made the day. Although it rained, our waterproofs were enough to keep out the wet and still appreciate the frequent breaks in the cloud. In fact the sun seemed to follow us around in the speedboat. Looking back at Fort Augustus from half way up Loch Ness, it was submerged in dark cloud cover. I've always said my favourite weather is cloudy with breaks of cloud at just the right moment.

On returning to Fort William I hear the rain had not improved back there. It was apparently horizontal rain all day. Fortunately we were a good few miles away. In fact where we were on Loch Ness the wind was only adding to the fun.

I decided, after seeing no end to the rain to spend some rainy day money on better activities. Walking was getting nowhere. Tomorrow is a steam train and aquaduct. Apparently the best train ride in the country. This is after the best view in the country (Loch Ness). But then if we believed tourist brochures we'd probably all be holidaying in Butlins.

Tomorrow is our last day in Scotland so after our single day's visit to Ben Nevis, we move on to the Lake District to catch sight of Scafell Pike. Once again, fingers crossed. I'll be getting cramp at this rate. The important thing is that Katarina is enjoying herself and we are spending quality time together.
