A day communing with Nature. We all enjoyed a leisurely start to the day – lazing in bed until breakfast at 8. Saw deer grazing outside the window.
We went for a two hour walk through the countryside and beside two lochs. Saw more deer and the fastest rabbit in the world. Wayne and Mark were determined to locate our position on the map, so frequent stops for calibration.
We then did a three hour cruise on Loch Ness and to Urqhart Castle. For one hour, we were entertained by a narrator with a very heavy Scottish accent (so again, picking up about every third word). Just as we were about to walk off to see the castle, he asked if anyone had Scottish clan. Wayne’s hand shot up and next minute Wayne was being serenaded with a Gordon song.
We viewed the castle for an hour and dipped our hands into the loch before joining a return boat. 
This time we had a female guide, Linda and she mesmerised us with the theories of the monster. A great story teller and a lot easier to understand.
We were invited by fellow Australians, Pam and Ian, to join them for dinner at the Dore inn. A shuttle bus picked us up and drove us the 30 minutes there and back. Dinner was beautiful and both Wayne and Donna tried haggis. The drive back at about 8:30 was still in daylight. The sun was out and the views were spectacular.
