(Fort William, Scotland) 7:30a. Time to wake up. Loch Ness today. Yes! Deep. Dark. Daunting. Time to pack. Dude, I love this backpack. Check Out. Hotel has a left luggage. Leave our packs here. Breakfast. Coffees and rolls. Very good. Bus station. We are looking for the Jacobite Loch Ness Coach. Bus stop 1. Now we wait. 9:15a. Tour guide is great. Funny. 30 Minute ride to boat dock. Beautiful day. Sun is bright. An Englishman just told me that he hasn’t forgotten the Boston Tea Party. At the docks. Show our boat passes. On the boat. Water is dark. Ideal living conditions for a monster. 30min cruise on the Loch. Photos. Video. Magic. Beautiful Mountains all around. Haunting beauty of the deep loch. About to dock at Urquhart Castle Ruins. Boat has docked. Beauty. Castle is awesome. Incredible. I find old ruins to be gorgeous. A bit odd perhaps. I think that I just spotter the monster! Some french dude saw it too. A disturbance in the water. About 100 meters away. I caught the after math on video. OMG. I love Scotland. Finished exploring the castle ruins. Up to the visitors center. A little shop. French dude just asked me to send him the video on facebook. Exchange info. Exciting. Nessie how I love thee. Another coach back to Inverness. Pick up backpacks from left luggage. Buy bus tickets to Fort Williams. Tiffany found a small shop to buy some snacks for the journey. A local just told me that these have been the best weather days yet this summer. It has rained alot this year. Great weather indeed. A bit hot now. On the bus to Fort William. Beautiful route along various lochs. Mountains everywhere. It is no wonder there was no train going from Invernes to Fort William. Sheep. Highlands. Almost there. I see Ben Nevis. The largest mountain in the UK. We’ve stopped. Off the bus. This seems a small town. Bus station and train station are very close. Walking around the town with our packs. Found an Info Center. Maps. Perfect. Done. Found Our Hotel/Hostel. Check-in. Very Quaint. I love it. Home. Explore the tow. A main street. Small shops. Lots of Pubs. Toy shop. Dr Who! Bought a sonic screwdriver. Awesome. Walking along a Loch that parallels main street. Time for food. Fish and Chips. Found a bench down by the Loch. Delicious. Tiffany saved a duck from eating a plastic bag. Small grocery store for a treat. Back to hotel. BBC news. Time for bed. Super busy day. Cheers.
