Anna, Neil’s sister, has joined us for two days. The first being another very pleasant cycling day. It started off cloudy and foggy but warm with no wind as we cycled down the east side of Loch Ness. There was very little traffic as we rode though the center of Inverness at 9.15 on a Sunday morning. The road down the east side is ideal for cycling. Very little traffic, single lane much of the way. We stopped for lunch at Foyers for a bowl of soup and the sun came out. There was quite a lot of uphill and we walked our bikes on three occasions. The high point was Suidhe viewpoint (366 Meters, 1200 feet above sea level) and then there was a steep downhill to Fort Augustus. We cycled about 53 KM to-day. The distance seems to be quite manageable particularly if one stops for a break at lunchtime.

Fort Augustus showing the old Benedictine Monastry which used to be Abbey School whom Neil played rugby against when he was at Gordonstoun.
We ate at the local pub this evening - I ordered Haggis, Neaps and Tatties. This is what it looked like - it was delicious with the creamy onion sauce.
